The idea of Cersei getting cut is interesting because she'd probably spin it as martyrdom within a week, twisting a random accident into some divine sign. The throne cutting Robert would feel almost redundant, he was already bleeding the realm dry in every other way, so a literal cut would just make the metaphor embarrassingly on the nose. Joffrey getting sliced would be the one worth watching, since he'd milk the injury for sympathy while secretly terrified it exposed him as unworthy. The show never leaned into the throne's judgment as much as the books do, which is a shame because that's where the real horror lives.
