Vince McMahon’s WWE rule for tag team matches
Bryan Alvarez revealed on the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Live that the match ended in a DQ because it broke a ‘secret Vince McMahon rule.’
The rules in place for tag team matches allow both competitors of a team to attack the legal man together for five seconds after the tag is made. However, outside of the five seconds, an illegal man cannot attack a legal man during a tag team match.
