WWE used blood intentionally in a segment on LIVE TV after a very long time.
Bubba Ray Dudley tweeted the following about it:
“When done at the right time, with the right story, and the right talent, with a definitive end result in mind…
Blood = Money
When done for no good reason and gratuitously, it means absolutely nothing.”
