Last night's episode of AEW Dark was pulled from YouTube shortly after airing.

Clicking on the show's link leads to a message stating the video is currently unavailable as it has been made private. Dark went out live as scheduled, though those who went looking for the show on AEW's official YouTube channel didn't find the episode in its usual place afterwards.

There's currently no word on why, exactly, Dark was made private, though it may have something to do with what happened at the end of the 10 vs. Jack Evans main event.

10 was bleeding profusely from the mouth as referee Bryce Remsburg raised his hand in victory, the plasma dripping through his white-and-purple mask and onto his torso, and YouTube's policy on violent or graphic content states, among other things, that content matching the following description shouldn't be posted:-

"Footage or imagery showing bodily fluids, such as blood or vomit, with the intent to shock or disgust viewers."

10 bleeding was clearly unintentional, though the censors may have decreed that his condition fit the billing. Again, this is speculative.

The exact spot that 10 got hurt on is tough to pinpoint, though he wasn't bleeding when Evans hit the top rope for a late-match Phoenix Splash. When Jack rose up after attempting a pinfall following the move, he had what looked like blood on his chest.
