During the main event of WWE New Year’s Revolution, LA Knight suffered an injury that resulted in him bleeding from the forehead. The incident occurred when AJ Styles landed punches on Knight’s skull during the match. Initially, some fans thought Knight was busted open after taking an elbow from Styles.
WWE chose not to remove LA Knight to address the bleeding, allowing him to continue in the match. This decision added to the dramatic intensity of the event. Knight nearly won the triple threat match, but Roman Reigns intervened, disrupting the outcome.
Sean Sapp of Fightful reported behind their paywall that LA Knight was legitimately busted open but is now okay. This event follows another recent occurrence of blood in WWE, where Becky Lynch bled during her match against Nia Jax on RAW’s Day 1 episode.
The incident with LA Knight raises questions about WWE’s approach to showing blood on television, especially following the internal changes with TKO Group Holdings merging UFC and WWE. WWE may not avoid featuring blood in matches if it occurs naturally.
