AEW Double or Nothing: 5 big mistakes made by All Elite Wrestling

#3. Dustin Rhodes being allowed to possibly blade

If caught in the WWE, blading carries a hefty fine and a potential suspension. One look at Dustin Rhodes' face during his 'bloody' battle against Cody would help you understand why WWE has stringent measures in place to avoid blading.

No man can bleed as copiously as Goldust did from an exposed turnbuckle bump. It had to be a blade job and it was one of the most terrifying instances in recent memory. It was like watching Eddie Guerrero's bloodbath against JBL from Judgement Day 2004.

It could have been a botched blade job but losing that much amount of blood should never be encouraged, especially when we're talking about a warhorse like Goldust.

Despite being an incredible bout, the match made for an unpleasant viewing as the fans were genuinely concerned about the well-being of Dusty Rhodes' favourite son.

In all honesty, the blood did enhance the impression that the match left on the fans' minds. However, it pushed the envelope to eerie limits. We do want edgy content, but not at the expense of a talent's health and safety.
