Reigns is thrown outside the ring, ref goes to check on him, directer stupidly cuts to the ref handing Reigns an object, Lesnar follows after ref gets back in.

I didnt see that as a pass. It looked like he checked on him after that sick clothesline and bump. After he fell to the floor the ref jumped out and asked him to squeeze his hand if he was ok. At least that is how I saw it.

Note Reigns left hand after the jump cut from Brock walking:



Could be a squeeze-check, but man that looks like a pass. There was also a moment after Brock hits the ringpost that it looks like he could've passed off a razor to Heyman.

Edit: The other thing is that physically, the first punch by Reigns that was a hardway, actually lead to some decently large bruising and swelling by Brock's left eye. The cut from the ringpost spot didn't bruise at all that I could see

I'm convinced that was a squeeze test and Brock was busted up the hard way. The gash on the top of his head on Raw was way too large to be a blade job.

In slow mo it looks like the ref goes in with his thumb sticking out. Doesn't look like he's holding anything.



During the spot where he was busted open he has both gloves off and keeps his hands open while handling Reigns. He is clean going into the post and red immediately after. Brock should do magic shows on the side if it was a blade job.

Shortley after that gif Reigns has his hands flat on the floor, he's not holding anything. And there is no hand off between him and Bork. If it was a blade job, Bork was already holding it and he did it while pretending to hit the post (he has his hand between the post and his head.) That would be pretty hard to do but would explain why the cut was so bad.

It looks more a hard way. He gets his hand between his head and post for the initial impact, but his head jerks forward a second time. Hard to tell if he actually hits it though.

You can clearly see Reigns was definitely given something by the ref

I can't see him give anything, if you can clearly see it, describe the item he gives him.

Right after this, Riegns has nothing in either hand.

Unless that ref has like 3 more fingers we can't see then it's clearly impossible for him to be holding anything.

Maybe you should point out where you think something is?

No. I can't tell. But I can tell a few seconds later, that he definitely is not holding anything.

Lol was going to say, #bladegate aside, color (shoot or work) was a good choice in the match. Really helped sell the "unbeatable monster got hurt" portion.

My thoughts on #bladegate. When Brock hit the ringpost, there is a cable running up the post, either for pyro or the new post-top cameras. I think that after years of taking head first post bumps with no cable, Brock just mis-placed his protective hand/mis-timed his speed and the cable cut him. That also stands in line with the post WM press release regarding blading/blood in the PG era.

Also I was a little incorrect in stating what Lesnar's cut looked like on Raw the next night. The cut was almost entirely above his hairline and just a small piece was below and visible. Nobody would ever blade that way.

But you bring up something I have been wondering for a few weeks. Why do they have those ring post cams if they dont use them? I think i remember only seeing one brief shot on a Raw from one of them. Doesnt make any sensne to me
