Did Brock Lesnar 'blade' during his title match at WrestleMania 31?

Did Brock Lesnar do a ‘blade job’?

There is a lot of speculation that Brock Lesnar did a ‘blade job’ during his WrestleMania 31 main event match against Roman Reigns. It is mentioned that he might have cut himself open using the blade when Reigns and Lesnar did the ring post part. However, it appeared as if Lesnar legitimately busted open the hard way when he hit the post, which is now impossible to know for sure.

In the below gif, it looks like the ref is handing something to Reigns, possibly a blade, when he passed out outside the ring, which Reigns in turn might have given to the Beast Incarnate.

If this indeed is true, then it would likely mean that Vince McMahon would have allowed this ‘blade’ job, which something the WWE has generally been against for years due to PG guidelines and safety. However, the first shot from Reigns was a legit punch and it did cut Lesnar, but it’s hard to think that the Beast would really go ahead and hit his head on the post and cut open.

While the first punch had a bruise and small swelling, the second shot that saw blood flow like river, which didn’t even cause a bruise or swelling. So, it’s also possible that Lesnar did a blade job.
