WWE provided a statement for this article and mentioned the blood and violence involved in the street fight match on December 31 at AEW Rampage.
On December 31st, Tay Conti and Anna Jay teamed up to battle The Bunny and Penelope Ford in a street fight that witnessed the superstars using weapons such as glass bottles and barbed wire.
WWE stated, “If you look at the gory self-mutilation that bloodied several women in the December 31 event on TNT, it quickly becomes clear that these are very different businesses. We had an edgier product in the ‘Attitude’ era and in a 2022 world, we don’t believe that type of dangerous and brutal display is appealing to network partners, sponsors, venues, children, or the general public as a whole.”
