Nowadays, blood isn't exactly encouraged on WWE programming. Despite pushing the boundaries from time to time, the promotion still operates under PG certification. Claret falls under the list of things management don't want to see on shows. Sadly for them, there was next to nothing Sasha Banks could do about it at Roadblock.

Legitimately bust open hard way and bleeding profusely from the nose and mouth, Sasha's face was covered in the stuff. As unfortunate as any unintentional cuts are, the image of a wounded Banks desperately trying to survive Charlotte's Figure Eight was almost iconic as a parting visual for the Iron Man battle.

Following the 2-2 scoreline that ended the initial 30-minute period of action, the referee decided to take things into overtime. Sasha locked on the Bank Statement, all before eventually succumbing to the Figure Eight and tapping out slowly.

Charlotte is still (incredibly) unbeaten in singles matches on WWE pay-per-view. Michael Cole drawing attention to that fact, the finish itself and the blood proved a lethal package.
