Earlier today there was an animated GIF from the main event of WrestleMania 31 floating around where it appeared the referee passed a blade to Roman Reigns, presumably so Reigns could pass it off to Brock Lesnar. It then appeared Lesnar did a “blade job” and cut himself open when they did the ring post spot.
WWE issued us the following statement on the “blade job” speculation tonight:
“WWE programming is TV-PG and we don’t permit intentional bleeding. The communication or contact between our performers and referees is part of our safety protocol. That said, unintentional blood sometimes occurs, and we do our best to minimize.”
