Netflix has edited LA Knight’s middle finger directed at Roman Reigns out of the replay of their WWE World Heavyweight Championship match from Money in the Bank 2026, according to multiple wrestling outlets including Ringside News, Fightful, WrestleView, Wrestling Headlines and 411Mania.
The moment occurred during the title match at the WWE Money in the Bank premium live event, held October 10, 2026 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, where Knight challenged Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The gesture aired live on the original broadcast without any censorship. When the event later became available as a replay through Netflix, the streaming service swapped the camera angle during that moment, effectively removing the gesture from view for anyone watching after the fact.
Reports note this is not an isolated incident. Netflix has previously made changes to WWE replay footage since taking over international and on-demand streaming duties for WWE programming, and this latest edit to the Knight-Reigns match adds to a pattern of the service altering content that aired unedited during the live broadcast.
None of the supplied reporting indicates who requested the edit, whether WWE or Netflix initiated the change, or what specific standard prompted the camera swap. The outlets covering the story have focused on documenting the discrepancy between the live broadcast and the replay version rather than offering an explanation for the decision.
The match itself was a notable one on the Money in the Bank card, with Knight once again challenging for a world championship after previous title opportunities in WWE. The specific result of the match was not detailed in the available reporting, and the edit itself has become the primary point of discussion following the event rather than the outcome of the title bout.
For fans who watched the Money in the Bank broadcast live, the altered replay represents a clear and documented change to the historical record of the show as it now exists on Netflix. Whether Netflix or WWE will comment further on the editing practice, or whether similar edits will continue to surface from past or future events, remains to be seen.
