WWE programming now boasts an exhilarating intensity due to The Rock’s recent turn into a heel character, which combines his Hollywood charisma with the edgy attitude of his late 90s persona.
The wrestling community is stunned by his debut on RAW, especially by his sudden showdown with Cody Rhodes.
The Rock’s return and his ambition to push artistic boundaries have drawn attention to WWE’s blood usage policy. Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter claims state that Dwayne Johnson will have a great deal of creative control over the direction of his characters and storylines.
This could open the door for other famous performers to use language more freely during their performances. But it’s important to understand that Vince McMahon is no longer in complete control of WWE.
The Rock may be free to pursue his artistic passions, but the network seems hesitant to include more diversity in its programming. WWE intends to restrict the use of blood going ahead, in contrast to AEW, which uses it more extensively.
