5 Times WWE Has Bent The Rules In Order To Fit In With Their Storylines

#3 Closed Fists are illegal in a wrestling ring

Lacey Evans has become known for her Women's Right

Anyone who has been to a wrestling training session will know that one of the biggest rules in the wrestling ring is that closed fists are illegal. The referee can be seen throughout matches telling superstars to open their fists when in the corner or when delivering strikes or they are at risk of being disqualified.

Despite this being a well-known rule throughout the business, the company still allows stars much like The Big Show to have a finisher called "The Knockout Punch". Even years after Big Show made this move his own, Lacey Evans has been promoted to the main roster on Monday Night Raw and is known for her "Women's Right", which is once again a closed fist. Ronda Rousey has also delivered a number of closed fists in the ring in the past since it's part of her moveset.
