This was the only round where contenders had an advantage over Gladiators, despite being outnumbered. The Gladiators were held to stricter rules. A Gladiator could only interact with the Contender if they are in their designated zone, and must cease the instant the contender had reached the white line marking the edge of that territory. Gladiators were also forbidden from holding and pinning the contenders, or from pushing them out of the gauntlet (in contrast to the American series, where this was allowed and would result in the contender losing the event). These violations occurred frequently with the offending Gladiator being removed before it restarted.
