According to Fightful Select, several moves/actions are now banned or restricted in AEW as the company is adopting a new health and safety protocol. A document was sent out that several people in AEW have confirmed as being legitimate although several wrestlers haven’t seen it yet.
Here is a list of moves and actions that the company wants talent to have approved by coaches/officials…
“- 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
– Chairs, pipes, kendo sticks, hammers, ring bells, bats, chains, etc. Title belts
– Thumbtacks, skewers, barbed wire, and other sharp/puncturing objects o Powders, aerosol sprays, or liquids
– Throwing any weapons or objects- chairs, etc. (Mox is probably fuming right about now with all these)
– 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.”
It was noted in the document that banned things include:
– “unprotected chair shots to the head,
