The Nature Boy also confessed that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon would also not allow the women on his roster to bleed such heavily. However, with WWE, it’s a different scenario as the product is PG-13 whereas AEW is PG-14.
Flair also noted that maybe it was the idea of the women involved in the match, as they wanted to raise the bar in the hardcore division of the women’s roster in AEW.
“I don’t think Vince [McMahon] would ever put the girls in that position ever in a WWE show. But then again, the girls may have volunteered to Tony [Khan] and said, ‘let us do this,'” Flair said.
