10 WWE rules we conveniently forget

#7 Closed fists are illegal

Wrestling is well wrestling and not boxing, which is why closed fists in the WWE are strictly forbidden. The referee is even well within his rights to disqualify a wrestler if he makes the use of his fists.

This rule has been broken before, but it’s pretty unprofessional when that happens as the wrestler breaking it is basically taking away his sport’s identity. Punches are even edited from telecasts to prevent unnecessary discrepancies.
