Details on Edge wanting to push boundaries for the 'Broodbath' on Seth Rollins
Gangrel recently revealed that Edge wanted to include red "blood" for his 'Broodbath' segment with Seth Rollins.
On the SmackDown episode before SummerSlam, fans witnessed a throwback to The Rated-R Superstar's time with The Brood faction. During the segment, Rollins stood inside the squared circle and got drenched with black liquid.
On a recent edition of the Fangin N Bangin podcast, Gangrel mentioned that the WWE Hall of Famer had been working on this for two and a half months. Additionally, Edge told him how hard it was to get the 'Broodbath' approved in a PG setting, as WWE had denied his idea to drench Rollins with red liquid.
"He [Edge] told me he was working on it for two and a half months. He said, 'You don't know how hard it was to get the blood bath thing because of the PG situation.' He wanted the red blood. It really came down to, if it wasn't black, it wasn't happening. It wasn't an idea overnight for him. He planned it. It was a big deal for him," said Gangrel.
Gangrel also disclosed how the timing of Edge showcasing 'Broodesque' elements on SmackDown and SummerSlam inadvertently affected plans for his AEW appearance.
