UPDATED: Did Brock Lesnar Blade at WrestleMania?

March 31, 2015 | Posted by Larry Csonka

UPDATE: WWE has issued the following statement addressing speculation that Brock Lesnar bladed at WrestleMania 31:

“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.”

ORIGINAL: During the WrestleMania 31 main event between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, fans saw something that they usually don’t in modern day WWE, blood. Besides being cut open on his cheek in the early action with Reigns, Lesnar was sent to the post late and got busted open. But there are some that don’t think that Lesnar was cut open the hard way. If Lesnar did blade, this would have been a direct call from Vince McMahon as the company has not allowed it for years. In the gif below, you will see the referee appear to put something (possibly the blade) in Roman Reigns hand. The theory is that when Lesnar went to the floor he got the blade and cut himself as he went into the post.
