Referee Aaren Wilde has posted in a multi-tweet thread that he has indefinitely put his career on hold due to injuries sustained at RevPro Summer Sizzler. According to his posts, he was attacked without warning after the Royal Quest tag team tournament final featuring Aussie Open. Viewers of the program could see Sha Samuels pick up and slam Wilde before Josh Bodom punched and kicked him while he was down.
Last weekend at RevPro I was attacked after the Royal Quest tag match. This was not part of the show, it was not planned.
I was grabbed and slammed to the mat by Sha and then something happened on the outside. I honesty don’t know what, that part was a blur.

As a result, I have sustained a much-more-serious-than-originally-thought neck and shoulder injury that means I am no longer able to referee.
I hate the term ‘retire’, so I’ll say this; I am indefinitely unable to referee due to medical restrictions.

Aaren goes on to say that he hopes to pursue refereeing again, but cannot in the immediate future to due neck and shoulder injuries. Said injuries will also prevent Aaren from refereeing football (soccer) games, which is his main source of income. The referee posted a PayPal donation link for those willing to chip in. He ends the thread by encouraging fans to support other UK promotions he’s been a part of, including Riptide Wrestling, Progress, and Future Shock Wrestling.
There are so many things that can be said about last weekend, but I would prefer to not write an essay of negativity.
For now I am also unable to football referee (my main income) due to the injury.
If you have a few spare pennies, I won’t say no: https://t.co/tuglaZOcw1
