– Even though WWE prohibits “blading,” WWE Champion Punk used a razor blade to cut his head open during his steel cage match against Jerry Lawler on RAW.
The spot occurred when Punk was thrown into the cage. Punk then appeared to hand the blade off to referee Charles Robinson. We have not heard anything about Punk getting any backstage heat for the blade job.
