Triple H Reveals If He Plans To Reintroduce Blood On WWE TV
Is blood coming back to WWE TV?
Sep 20, 2022
While blood remains common in professional wrestling outside of WWE, the company have not allowed blading on TV since 2008 and very few matches have involved blood in the last 14 years as a result.
A new WWE regime is now in place, though, following Vince McMahon's retirement in July of 2022, but Chief Content Officer Triple H revealed he has no plans to allow blood again on WWE TV as he believes it is irresponsible.
"The world has changed. The world has evolved. I don't think it's necessary. If we have talent that gets [cut open], usually you'll see them roll out and they'll get looked at to make sure that there's nothing dangerous. I'm just of the opinion right now, given the state of the world and the pandemic, and at the end of the day, what we do is dangerous enough without intentionally making it more dangerous. Yes, we did [feature bleeding] for a long period of time, but we've changed that practice. And it's irresponsible to go back," Triple H told The Ringer.
Other changes have been made to WWE since Triple H took over creative and WarGames will be featured on the WWE main roster for the first time at Survivor Series. Several talents have also been brought back to the company, including Braun Strowman, Karrion Kross, and Johnny Gargano.
