WWE has removed the segment during which DX parodies The Nation of Domination from the Network.
Shortly after content from the WWE Network started to migrate over to Peacock in the US, fans picked up on something. A couple of segments from archive footage were missing. It has since been revealed by both WWE and Peacock that this is no accident. The segments in question are the time Roddy Piper painted half his body black at WrestleMania, and Vince McMahon uttering a racial slur to John Cena in front of Booker T on Raw.
Even though the removal of content has been prompted by the move to Peacock, WWE is also removing the same problematic segments from the international version of its service. The latest segment to bite the dust is from 1998 and was always going to be a casualty once this started to happen. When DX parodied The Nation of Domination on Raw.

The faction's members each dressed up as a different member of The Nation. That resulted in some of the group's members appearing in blackface. Sean Waltman, better known as WWE's X-Pac, played Mark Henry for the segment and has previously discussed the decision to appear in blackface for the parody. The video package in which it appears at SummerSlam '98 has also been removed.
The episode of Raw on which the segment originally appeared is yet to make it onto Peacock. However, WWE appears to be removing content in preparation for Peacock finding it. Those in charge of the WWE Network's new home in the US are reportedly combing through more than 17,000 hours of footage, hunting out anything that doesn't fit in with their current day standards and practices.
Peacock might well have quite the task on their hands. It remains unclear what exactly won't be in keeping with those standards and practices. Thus far, the only content removed has related to problematic segments and matches in regard to race. If Peacock's issues spread beyond that, WWE may also wave goodbye to the time Triple H simulated sex with a dead body, and maybe even Mae Young giving birth to a hand.
