Line 5:
*** {{spoiler| [[Cameron (Wrestling)|Cameron]]}} was also screwed by this clause during her match [[AJ Lee (Wrestling)|AJ]] at the 2014 '''Elimination Chamber''', thanks to {{spoiler| Tamina Snuka interfering}}. Considering, {{spoiler| Tamina}} is the daughter of {{spoiler| Jimmy Snuka}}, so she know about this rule to ensure AJ keeps her title.
** This also applies for a count out rule. {{spoiler| Naomi}} got screwed out of this one on the March 24, 2014 episode of RAW when {{spoiler| AJ}} got herself a loss in this way but kept her title… on purpose. Of course, {{spoiler| Vickie}} had enough and ordered a match at Wrestle Mania for the Divas Championship... [[Who's Laughing Now?]]
* Speaking of Championship, while Divas are pretty limited to WWE Diva Championship, there are actually no rules against any of them from going for WWE Intercontinental Championship, which [[Chyna]] got away with. The same goes with WWE United States and WWE World Heavyweight championship. Thus, while the WWE and possibly TNA may have a [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl| No Hitting Women Rule]] in recent years, there actually nothing against a Diva accepting or issuing a challenge for a title match other than the Diva Championship.
* When comes to the '''''[[Royal Rumble]]''''', the only way for an elimination to count is for a wrestler to be thrown over the top rope and both feet must hit the floor.
** However, there are no rules about [[Kofi Kingston (Wresting)|hand-walking, landing on chairs, landing of the barricades]], and [[Rey Mysterio, Jr.|landing on other fallen wrestlers]].
** Top Rope Only, through the ropes... you're safe.
** The DQ is going before your number, but how you enter isn't stated.
** When it comes to weapons, chairs and trash cans... no rule against them, but chainsaw... [[Obvious Rule Patch|there is a rule about that]]. Since 2008, this loophole has been spotted and dealt with.
** Though it’s advertised to have Superstars, i.e. male wrestlers, but there are no rules that it has to be men, hence why three WWE Divas entered the matches.
** Midget wrestlers are also allowed, which it’s how [[Hornswoggle (Wrestling)|Hornswoggle]] joined in 2011 and El Tortio in 2014.
** While dressing up as an animal is allowed, there were once [[Animal Athlete Loophole|no rules on having a real animal in the match]]. [[Jake Roberts|Jake "The Snake" Roberts]] took advantage of this in 1989 and 1996 by bring a real snake.
** There were two cases where the Royal Rumble either in a draw or a redo of the last two wrestlers if their eliminated at the same time. In 1994, Lex Luger and Bret Hart ended up being co-winners when it happened, while Vince McMahon ordered a redo just on [[Batista]] and John Cena in 2005. However, there’s another way that a wrestler that was eliminated could get a second chance and that’s for the WHOLE MATCH to start all over again if McMahon orders it.
** Since it's open to pretty much everyone, for a brief moment there wouldn't be anyone to do commentary which was the case in 2012. Despite being earlier, [[Jerry Lawler]] and [[Booker T]] were able to get [[Michael Cole]], thanks to [[Sassy Black Woman| Kharma]], since the Rumble was a no DQ match.
* For the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Ring of Fire]], the fire is suppose to keep for outside interference though the match is to be won by pin-fall and/or submission. However, Harper and Rowan were able to find a loophole… just put a fire-resistant blanket since there wasn't a rule against it.
* While the "rule once unmask must stay like that", there isn't a rule against for [[Masked Luchador]] to have a back-up mask, which [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tFjdA9pd2c Sin Cara] happen to have.

'''JBL''': We are foreign.}}
* For a mixed tag-team, a guy can only be in the ring if another guy in there since it can result in a DQ for hitting a woman, and the same goes the other way around. However, if you catch someone of your sex from the other team about to attack your tag team partner of the opposite sex, it apparently won’t count as a DQ if you’re going after someone of your sex to keep them from attacking your partner. [[Santino Marella]] was able to get away with this when he catches [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti6GOsbaxgY Fandango] about to attack Emma in order to save Summer Rae and resorts to his “cobra” to handle the situation.
* On May 19, 2014 edition of Raw, when [[Triple H]] forced Seth Rollins into a match with Batista, he made a clause only allowing officials like the guest ring announcer and time keeper. When Rollins discovered that Triple H made himself guest ring announcer and [[Randy Orton]] time keeper because [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them | he can]], Rollins quickly got Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns on the commentary since it they’re considers “officials”.
* On the May 26, 2014; Stephanie McMahon informs Daniel she has legal grounds to have his wife, Brie, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9tRTVLokM4 removed] for attacking her since McMahon is their boss. On the other hand, Daniel didn’t face this at '''''Wrestlemania XXX''''' when [[Triple H| Stephanie’s husband]] was in a match with Daniel, thanks the YES Movement. Why… since both Stephanie and Hunter are the bosses and pretty much got a [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them]] conduct? It’s simple and Daniel knows this. If someone in a higher authority is in an “official” match, their opponent can’t face further consequences regardless of outcome. Because Brie attacked Stephanie two weeks prior and it wasn't sanctioned match, the former got in trouble with the latter since it wasn't in a match, unlike what happened to their husbands.
* Brie also got away with [[Kick the Son of a Bitch| slapping Stephanie]] at Payback when she was part of the company, just after [[Kayfabe| quitting]]. However, when [http://youtu.be/ZVoyWngv9Pc?list=UUJ5v_MCY6GNUBTO8-D3XoAg Brie came back as fan (civilian)] in later that July, Stephanie failed to realize Brie has some extra help… after [[Kick the Dog| slapping Brie]]. There’s one problem, attacking a fan is illegal, and [http://youtu.be/C0xGsZuBILE Brie finally got the police involved]. [[Kayfabe]] or not, the reactions from the audience was a clear sign that, attacking a fellow wrestler is one thing, but attacking fans is a sure-fire way get arrested. Brie knows this one!
* With except if a specific match, such as an extreme match, using an object in any match will result in a DQ. However, if a wrestler catches someone with their opponent about to interfere and is forced to use the object to prevent much occurrence, it won’t count as a DQ. During '''''Wrestlemania XXX''''', Bray Wyatt tried to trick [[John Cena]] into getting a DQ by giving him a steel chair, but the latter went after Eric Rowan instead. Because Rowan wasn't supposed to interfere or it would’ve been a DQ for Wyatt, Cena took out Rowan and continue on Wyatt. {{Spoiler| The referee informed Cena not to use the chair on Wyatt, but he didn’t say anything about Eric Rowan.}}
* After [[Chris Jericho]] had beaten both Eric Rowan and Luke Harper to ensure they couldn’t interference with his match against Bray Wyatt, Jericho agreed the men are to be banned from the match to ensure it. The request was granted. However, Rowan and Harper weren’t banned from '''''Summer Slam''''' of 2014; they were just barred from helping Wyatt. The stipulation only kept them from helping Bray Wyatt, not joining along Wyatt’s real-life brother, Bo Dallas, and join among other wrestlers in a lumberjack match between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.
* Back in 1999, during his match against Big Boss Man and Prince Albert on '''''Raw''''', [[Dwayne Johnson| The Rock]] was given his choice on who’ll be his tag-team partner. He decided on “the people”, meaning there wasn’t a rule against recruiting an audience member to be his partner for the match. However, it also meant any other wrestler can join to help him… [[Mick Foley| someone]] did.
** Braun Strowman used this loophole at WrestleMania 34 since there wasn't a rule against a child joining.
* On the October 6, 2014, Seth Rollins was ordered to start a match involving him, Kane, and Randy Orton against John Cena under the orders of Triple H. However, Triple H didn't explain to Cena that Rollins couldn't tag someone just as soon the match started, allowing Kane and Orton to go after Cena first.
* When it comes to pin-falls, it’s usually have to be in the ring unless in certain matches, like falls count anywhere. In 2001, [[The Big Show]] was able defeat [[Chris Jericho]] by pinning him up against a wall as a result of this.
* If a wrestler felt a match wasn't done cleanly even if it ends in a victory for that person, the wrestler could a redo on the spot. All the wreslter simply has to do is ask an official. After a title match at the 2013 Royal Rumble ended in a DQ, [[Vince McMahon]] was about to strip [[CM Punk]] of the WWE Championship as part of the stipulation if Punk tries any form of foul play and learned about it when [[Dwayne Johnson| The Rock]] stopped McMahon, requesting the match to be started over. Since a victory via pin-falls or submission would result in a title exchange, McMahon granted the request {{spoiler| which ended with the Rock winning the match}}. {{spoiler| The Arena went dark for a few moments while the Rock was about to deliver the People's Elbow. The commentators blamed the Shield for it, whom Punk wasn't suppose to have in the match. When the lights went back on, the Rock had already been driven through the English announce table before Punk dragged him back to the ring.}}
** This ended up being '''subverted''' for CM Punk, who thought McMahon couldn't take action if he didn't see anything. However, this was blown when The commentators DIDN'T STOP TALKING, and McMahon heard that, prompting him on taking action.
* When a wrestler an "open challenge", it's pretty much because it means that any other wrestler, including a diva even if the person offering it is a guy, could easily accept, which happened in 2012 when a [[Lita| a diva]] accepted an Extreme Rule Match against Heath Slater. In 1999, [[The Big Show]] did this for his title, [[Kane| Somebody accepted it]].
* Whenever someone is banned from ringside for a match, it's usually complied. However, the second the match is over, the banishment no longer applies, even if the match ends in a DQ. Many wrestlers got around this rule when a match did end in this matter.
* When it comes to ‘''Money in the Bank''’, the winner is given a contact that entitled them to have a title shot within a year. The ‘cash in’ can happened at any time the wrestler feels it the right away. However, as Seth Rollins discovers, there wasn’t a rule against {{spoiler| during a title match in process, much to the dismay or both Roman Reigns and [[Brock Lesnar]], which happened at Wrestlemania 31. This turned the match into a Triple Threat, where one doesn't have go after the current champion in order to win the title.}}
