10 Unofficial Rules That Exist In WWE Today

3. It's OK To Steal Spots From The Main Event

A WWE PPV used to be a carefully conducted, thoroughly planned out show from the opening contest to the main event. Matches that occurred later in the card, usually the higher profile contests, were protected by not having similar spots performed earlier in the show. For example, if the last match was going to feature the use of a steel chair, or maybe a story where the heel worked the babyface's leg, none of those spots would be seen earlier in the night in order to protect the originality and success of the main event.

Well, that's clearly no longer a priority because, in terms of what's restricted from being used in order to keep the main event special, the current roster and agents' match plans are the Wild West. Too often, the same stories are told in multiple matches throughout a WWE show and even finishes are re-used and recycled for matches, including the main event. Take Hell in a Cell for example, where the same spots reoccurred in all three marquee cell contests. It's understandable that talents want to steal the show each night out, but there seems to be no professional courtesy and no protection for what is planned later in the show by the producers or talents. Unfortunately, the matches aren't the only thing that lack the necessary protection in WWE today...
