Tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW will feature a ‘Fist Fight’. It will be Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, and The Big Show vs Seth Rollins and The AOP.
Many fans have been confused as to what the rules of this match will be. We finally have the answer for you.
Here are the official rules of the match according to The Wrap:
The “Fist Fight,” which will be Monday’s main event, is no-holds-barred, no disqualification, no count-outs, no pinfalls and no submissions — a first in the industry, a WWE spokesman told TheWrap.
“The match ends when the referee declares that one team is no longer able to continue,” the spokesman said.
Yes, an entire team of three has to be (storyline) “knocked out” for the match to come to a conclusion.
“This is a legit fistfight. You know how fistfights are? If we’re in high school and I say, ‘See you at 3 o’clock, meet you around back, we’re gonna have a fistfight.’ Fistfights happen until one guy drops, or two guys drop. This is a rumble, this is ‘West Side Story,’” the same person told us in the promo portion of our conversation. “This is where a score gets settled or a storyline gets dramatically ramped up.”
To be clear, it is not actually a legitimate fistfight like the boxing matches from 1998’s WWF “Brawl for All” were. This “Fist Fight” is still a scripted wrestling match — just one with unique stipulations and a cool name.
