According to sources, Vince McMahon’s new rule that he initiated during a production meeting last week at RAW, regarding wrestling not taking place during commercial breaks, caught many in the company by surprise, According to Bryan Alverez, it was described as McMahon just casually throwing out the rule during the meeting last Monday.
The new rule led to Kofi Kingston doing two multiple fall matches last week between RAW and SmackDown! Live. There was also a 2-out-of-3 falls match on SmackDown! Live, featuring Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler.
There is some speculation that the change is to prepare for SmackDown Live’s move to FOX, who reportedly want a more sports-oriented feel to the show.
