AEW ISSUES OFFICIAL LIST OF BANNED MOVES & MANEUVERS THAT MUST NOW BE APPROVED BY COMPANY MANAGEMENT & MEDICAL TEAM

By Mike Johnson on 2023-07-13 19:20:00

AEW management issued a memorandum to company talent earlier this week, announcing the following maneuvers are no longer "allowed under any circumstances" -

-Unprotected shots to the head

-Shots to the back of the head

-Buckle bombs/Blind moves backward into the turnbuckle

-Fencing response/seizure sells

-Spitting

-Blood in the crowd (i.e., no bleeding while in the crowd and no throwing bloody gear, tape, or other objects in the crowd)

-Weapons/projectiles in the crowd

-Taking drinks or food from guests in the crowd

-Physical contact with the crowd (e.g., wrestler holding opponent and allowing a fan to chop them)

The memo noted the aforementioned moves are "prohibited for your safety, safety of the staff and crew, safety of our fans, and compliance with laws and venue requirements."  

PWInsider.com is told this is an updated version of an older memo previously created by the company's medical team that was recently updated and dispersed to the roster.

The new memorandum also updated a listing of maneuvers that cannot be utilized unless approved by the company's medical team and the producer/coach of the match involved (meaning both sides must be in accordance on approving it, not one or the other) and that the moves can only be utilized within the safety protocols advised to talents:

-Spots and bumps on the ring apron and outside

-Table/ladder/chair spots in and out of the ring (Only allowed with padding)

-Any elevated spots outside of the barricades (dives and ladder spots on stage, around the arena, and other places outside of the ring)

-All piledriver/tombstone variations, including: sit down drivers, inverted/poison hurricarana and vertebreakers

-High-risk dives or top rope moves (450, 630, double moonsaults, SSP, etc.)

-Intentional bleeding (of any sort, not just blading)

-Throwing people into/through/over ring steps, commentary table, bell table, or guardrails/barricades

-Weapon usage: Chairs, pipes, kendo sticks, hammers, ring bells, bats, chains, etc.   Title belts.  Thumbtacks, skewers, barbed wire, and other sharp/puncturing objects.  Powders, aerosol sprays, or liquids

-Throwing any weapons or objects- chairs, etc.

-Choking/strangling with hands or a weapon or hanging spots

-Injury spots or angles, whether or not medical is involved/called to the ring

-Any physicality in the crowd or crowd brawling

-Any physicality involving referees, managers, extras, celebrities, or special guests

The memo also noted "This is not a comprehensive list and can be modified as appropriate by medical, legal, and coaching staff."

The list was initially reported this afternoon by Fightful.com.  PWInsider.com has independently acquired a copy of the memo from multiple sources. 

PWInsider has also confirmed that talents violating the policy will be fined by AEW.
