#8 Chair shot to the head in a WWE match

Much like blading, chair shots to the head were common in WWE once. But with the studies showing the massive impact that they have had on a WWE Superstar's skull and brain, leading to concussion issues, WWE had to ban chair shots to the head.

But Triple H and The Undertaker, during their incredible "No Holds Barred" WrestleMania 27 match, decided to go ahead with a spot that featured a chair shot to the head. WWE fined both the veteran Superstars for violating WWE's concussion policy. The amount was not disclosed but this proved how seriously the company takes this policy. WWE issued the following statement on the same:

"Pursuant to WWE's Concussion policy, the stunt of using a folded metal chair shot to the head is prohibited. Triple H and The Undertaker have both been fined for violating this policy at WrestleMania XXVII. WWE penalizes through fine and/or suspension for violation of this policy, which is unchanged and still in effect."

#7 Controversial comments

This is the most recent incident of WWE fining its Superstar. In 2018, several controversial comments made by Lars Sullivan between 2007 and 2013 resurfaced on the Internet. One of WWE's sponsors, Mars Wrigley noticed them, resulting in the sports entertainment giant taking action against Lars Sullivan.

According to Forbes, WWE fined Sullivan a massive $100,000 for his controversial comments and made him complete sensitivity training. The following was sent out via email:

"Dylan Miley (aka Lars Sullivan) will be fined $100,000 and required to complete sensitivity training for offensive commentary uncovered from his past. WWE will also facilitate meetings for Dylan with community organizations to foster further discussion around the power of social media and the impact of your words.”

WWE should be given credit for making their Superstars realize the impact their words can have.
