#4. Triple H and The Undertaker were fined an undisclosed amount for their WrestleMania match

Two of the biggest names in WWE were fined for one of the greatest matches. The Undertaker and Triple H locked horns at WrestleMania 27 in a no-holds-barred match.

Though everything was allowed in the contest, the superstars were not permitted to hit a steel chair on the opponent's head. However, to make the match more intense, the two titans did the same and were both heavily fined.

WWE publicly stated on its website about the fine to set an example for other superstars.

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.

#3. Mr. McMahon fined Titus O'Neil for not minding his own business

During Daniel Bryan's retirement tribute in 2016, almost every superstar on the roster was on the entrance ramp. Following the winding-up, Titus O'Neil grabbed Vince McMahon when the latter was making his way back.

The chairman was caught off guard and pushed Neil. The Prime-Time player was later suspended for 90 days for the act, which was subsequently shortened to 60 days.

Furthermore, he was also fined USD 5,000. Everything appears to be fine now as Titus was inducted into the Hall of Fame with the Warrior Award for his work outside the ring. Titus and Vince even hilariously recreated the moment during the induction.
