10 Banned Segments WWE Had To Censor

10. A ‘Having Sex With John Cena’ Dig

The main crux of Paige's feud with Nikki Bella has been the pair's respective sexual pasts.

That's it in a nutshell, and it feels like a proper throwback to the Diva days when WWE's women focused more on sexuality than pure wrestling skills. It didn't take long for things to get fraught either; Nikki has mentioned her counterpart's old sex tape more than once during promos.

Paige decided to fire back in a big way on the 4 September 2026 SmackDown. There, as both traded lines about their respective pasts, the Brit unleashed a tide by saying she’d built her career “on hustle, loyalty and respect”. Meanwhile, Bella “just slept with it”.

That was a clear nod towards Nikki's prior relationship with John Cena. The then-couple got engaged inside the ring at WrestleMania 33, but they'd never tie the knot before splitting. Clearly, this was something these women agreed on before the cameras started rolling, but lines like that will always grab attention.

Their confrontation aired on USA Network, but Netflix cut it out of on demand replays for SmackDown. Some fans on social media have chimed in to say they don't like that approach, because wrestling is scripted entertainment and Nikki was obviously fine with what was said.

Netflix didn't care. They'd made their minds up, and thus wiped the line from existence. Interestingly, WWE themselves kept the promo intact on their own YouTube and official website recaps of the show.

Get used to that disconnect between the company and Netflix the deeper you get into this article.
