The face of Darren Young’s boyfriend was blurred out during the premiere episode of “Swerved” this week, and Young reacted by Tweeting the following:

   Swerved by @WWE but 2 blur my man’s face is totally disrespectful 2 me! Why? It wasn’t done on #WWEUnfiltered.

B A (*) WWE.

All the "tolerance" preaching and shit...

I assumed at the time it was for legal reasons.

What legal reasons could arise from it?

^ Well, I believe you can't show someone's face without their written consent, and there might be payment issues they wanted to avoid for using his likeness. However, if they showed him with no problems on WWE Unfiltered (as I assume from the Tweet), then that may not have been the reason. However, it could be as simple as the shows having different directors/producers with different priorities.

I mean, it's not like blurring his face would make everyone think he's a chick and Darren's straight. I'm not sure what the angle is.

I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. But that's just what I assumed when I was watching the episode. I'm not trying to justify whatever the WWE was doing, I'm just saying that's all I thought of it at the time I watched.
