General Audiences
TV-PG – This program contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. Many episodes may be unsuitable for children under 10.
TV-14 – This program contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age.
Parental Guidance
WWE programming is generally rated TV-PG — meaning it is suitable for most audiences, though parents are strongly advised to monitor younger children’s viewing. Occasionally, WWE may present a show or pay-per-view event with a higher content rating (TV-14 or TV-MA), which would be clearly identified as such.
Teens
WWE is rated PG (Parental Guidance Suggested). This rating is assigned by the Classification and Rating Administration (CARA), a part of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). WWE programming contains intense violence, sexual content, language and adult themes.
Mature
WWE is rated TV-PG, which stands for “Television Parental Guidelines.” This means that WWE may not be suitable for younger viewers, as it may contain violence, strong language, and/or suggestive scenes.
TV-14
WWE is a American professional wrestling organization. It has been a family-friendly show since its inception, but has since steered more towards a adult audience. The show is now rated TV-14.
Parents Strongly Cautioned
TV-14 means that a program is unsuitable for children under the age of 14. It also indicates that the content may be inappropriate for younger children. Parents are strongly cautioned to exercise discretion in permitting their children to watch this program.
May not be suitable for children under the age of 14
TV-14 is a content rating assigned by the American cable television network WWE to its original programming which it deems suitable for viewers aged 14 and up. Programs with this rating may contain moderate violence, partial nudity, intense language, and/or suggestive dialogue.
TV-MA
WWE is an American professional wrestling promotion based in Stamford, Connecticut. WWE has been rated TV-MA since 2008. The rating is due to the graphic and adult content that is shown on WWE programming. This includes violence, blood, language, and sexual content.
Mature Audiences Only
TV-MA is a rating assigned by the TV Parental Guidelines to a television program that was designed for mature audiences only. This rating means that the program may contain nudity, violence, strong language, or adult situations. The TV-MA rating is not a recommendation, but simply an indicator of content. Parents should use their own discretion when deciding whether or not to allow their children to watch TV-MA rated programming.
May not be suitable for children under the age of 17
TV-MA is a rating assigned by the TV Parental Guidelines to a television program that was designed for mature audiences only. This means that the show may contain strong language, graphic violence, sexual content, or all three. While many shows that air on network television are given a TV-14 rating, which indicates that they may not be suitable for children under the age of 14, some shows are given a TV-MA rating to indicate that they are not appropriate for anyone under the age of 17.
WWE programming is typically rated TV-PG, which means it contains content that may not be suitable for younger children. However, there are some WWE shows that are rated TV-MA, including WWE NXT and WWE Backstage.
