During this week’s episode of WWE RAW, The Rock attacked Cody Rhodes, causing him to bleed in the final segment of the show.
The usage of blading had been banned in WWE by Vince McMahon for many years. Dave Meltzer reported the following in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter regarding the segment:
“As far as what it all means, we were told that Dwayne Johnson as always will get to do pretty much what he wants. The further he pushes, it’s likely the further at least some of the top stars can with language.
With blood, the key is that this is no longer Vince McMahon’s company. We were told that going forward it will be used very rarely. There are no plans to turn it into AEW where it’s used more liberally.”
