5 things that could change on WWE Smackdown Live on Fox and 5 things that will stay the same

Will likely stay the same on Fox: No blood or blading

K. O. Kevin Owens stands over a bloody and bedraggled Vincent Kennedy McMahon on RAW.

Fox broadcasting operates by one major rule; Sports programming is meant to be family friendly. This means that children of any age can tune in, and--even if they don't understand the nuances of the rules--they will at least not be exposed to situations or themes that could hinder their development psychologically.

But even with a PG rating, there are many things that go on in WWE that would be inappropriate for young children to see. One of these things is the art of blading. Blading occurs whenever a wrestler needs to bleed for the scripted match. They will often specially prepare a razor blade with masking tape covering all but a tiny edge. The blade can either be hidden in their ring gear--wrist bands are a favorite spot--or given to the referee, who can pass the blade while pretending to check on a fallen wrestler.

The wrestler then jams the blade into their own forehead and makes a quick, deep cut. A deeper cut means less scarring and a faster heal time, as illogical as that may seem. It's why Ric Flair's forehead doesn't look bad, but Dusty Rhodes had a ton of scar tissue. Flair cut deep, Dusty cut shallow.

At any rate, you won't be seeing blood on the Fox network, so the wrestlers will be leaving their blades at home. This is in keeping with the WWE's no blading policy, even if sometimes an exception is made (such as Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 34 and Vince McMahon on Raw.)
