THAT brutal beatdown of Cody Rhodes on WWE Raw received a rather surprise censoring.

With last night's WWE Raw concluding with the brutal, bloody beatdown of Cody Rhodes at the hands of The Rock in the dark, rainy car park of Chicago's Allstate Arena, that segment received a rather interesting censor when uploaded to WWE's YouTube channel, as picked up on by PWInsider.

Obviously, the various cuss words used by the Great One during this attack were muted on YouTube, but what else was problematic? Could it be the blood seen across Cody's face, Rock's hands, and on the Final Boss' weight belt? Nah, the issue appears to be a few trash can shots.

As seen below, this video hit freeze frame at the couple of moments Rhodes was hit by a trash can.

Considering the general intense nature of this beatdown, and the rare use of blood in a WWE segment, one might have thought that level of violence and usage of claret would've been an issue for censors. Instead, it's the fairly safe trash can shots dished out to the American Nightmare that was the biggest problem.

Either way, this was an extremely hot way to wrap up a generally great episode of WWE Raw, as the ante was clearly upped ahead of WrestleMania XL in less than two weeks. For those wondering, that video has only been up on YouTube for less than four hours as of this writing, but already has approaching 250,000 views.
