5 Rules every WWE Superstar needs to follow

Well, in WWE, great powers come with great responsibility. Every independent performer that has scratched and clawed to make a name for themselves have always aimed to eventually grab the brass ring under Vince McMahon's wing.

The performers that work in the independent business crave to be a WWE main-event caliber superstar, but such an opportunity bestows a performer to become more responsible both between the ropes, and outside of it.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

The company follows a strict regulation that must be followed by the superstars employed, and are coerced to work professionally to enhance more global connect with the audience.

Since WWE has become more proficient and safe as a wrestling promotion, the superstars are allowed to contact the management before heading to the squared circle.

And, if a certain WWE superstar fails to commit to the rules that are obliged upon him/her, their relevance in the industry might get detested in abundance, particularly under WWE's Chairman, Vince McMahon.

Here are 5 WWE rules every superstar has to follow under Vince McMahon

#1 Never mention the term 'Professional Wrestling' on live television

Judging by how the business has changed so drastically, Vince McMahon's perception of ascending the WWE as a global phenomenon has coerced him to make some substantial changes to the product.

One such significant alteration is not using the term 'professional wrestling'. Since all the performers that work in the industry are generally addressed as pro wrestlers, the company follows a strict policy of mentioning their business as 'sports entertainment'.

While the WWE Superstars lay their bodies on the line every single week, they are doing so by exposing their sheer athleticism and craft to 'entertain' the audience.

Calling yourself a professional wrestler on live television might possibly hinder your relationship with the Boss, and is regarded a cardinal sin backstage by the WWE management.

#2 Never use a chair-shot on the head

Ever since WWE has gone PG, the alterations made in the product have been detested in abundance by the audience and critics.

Since the Attitude Era involved the performers to present the product in a more realistic sense, the company has brought another significant change in the usage of chair-shots.

Considering that the WWE follows a strict policy of catering to all types of audiences, using a chair-shot on the head might portray or depict a violent act that might depreciate their economic pull.

With performers suffering from multiple concussions and brain injuries due to unfortunate incidents between the ropes, the company completely refuses allowing chair-shots on the head.

#3 Never go off-script and make controversial remarks on the company

CM Punk's pipe-bomb promo broke the fourth wall

In an era where the technological advancements have merely exposed the inner workings of the business, WWE still maintains their commitment to follow the script.

Regardless of the stature of a superstar within the company, no WWE superstar is allowed to go off-script and advance the narrative according to their own preferences.

If something of that magnitude is committed by a WWE superstar, then the management would take no time in coercing the superstar to leave the company or get suspended.

Big Cass' latest altercation with the management after going off-script relegated his push and diminished his credibility after being released by the WWE.

While CM Punk's pipe-bomb promo did felt off-script and genuine, the company does follow some regulations to script their storylines which cannot be ignored.

#4 Never indulge in media appearances without significant permission

While being a WWE Superstar instantly propels you to the top of the wrestling world, the company is pretty serious about their media regulations.

Since John Cena, Roman Reigns, Finn Balor, and Triple H make regular appearances to interact with the media, no superstar can indulge in any outside conversation without Vince's approval.

If the superstar is found out to be interacting with the media without approval, then their relationship with the staff backstage might alter, a bit.

Even while appearing on such occasions, the superstars need to be aware of their wrestling terminology, and must avoid mentioning things that are banned from the company's stand point.

There's no denying that social media exposure certainly ascends a superstar's credibility, not consulting the management before interactions might get a superstar in serious trouble.

#5 Never ever use the Pile-Driver

Possibly the most strict regulation in the company is its disallowance of certain finishing moves that might legitimately a superstar.

While finishing moves like the Punt kick, Pedigree, Muscle Buster, have all been under the radar for some of the most dangerous moves in the business, the Package Pile-Driver stands as the most frightening.

The move is strictly banned within the company, and anyone attempting something of such capacity might end up being released from the company.

Owen Hart's pile driver on 'Stone Cold Steve Austin possibly ended his career with a neck injury, and through substantial surveys, the company has started avoiding using finishers that injure the opponents.

While CM Punk and John Cena did use the Pile Driver in a classic match on Monday Night Raw, there were reports that Vince McMahon possibly fumed at the occasion, and fined them.
