Blood has been the talk of the wrestling world, as Cody Rhodes was busted wide open on RAW this past Monday.

Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (sub required), has given an update on how WWE is handling blood moving forward, and if fans should expect more blood on WWE TV:

“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. But if Johnson wants it in his angle, he’s like Lesnar in the Vince administration, and has more power than Lesnar had then, and he’s going to be able to do what he wants in his angles and matches.”
