In a somewhat interesting turn given how well-received their match was, Triple H and Undertaker were both hit with undisclosed fines from WWE management for a WrestleMania 27 issue.
Believed to be a scripted, cleared manuever as a means of strengthening the intensity of their match, Triple H struck The Undertaker with a chair shot to the head. Given the health risk, this move had been formally banned by WWE, with wrestlers instead relying on chair shots to the back in their matches.
Perhaps using marquee Superstars as a means of sending a message to the media, WWE announced that the two were fined for including the spot in their match.
“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,” the company said in a statement.
