At last weekend’s RevPro event at York Hall, controversy ensued after an impromptu finish to a tag team match led to the referee in the match getting a bodyslam that was not scripted.
The series of events only came to light when the ref in the match – Aaren Wilde – posted on Twitter that he would be retiring from officiating, citing injuries as a result of an unplanned bump following the match.
The incident occurred during the Aussie Open vs. Josh Bodom & Sha Samuels tag bout when Wilde ended the match earlier than anticipated when Bodom was unable to get his shoulders up in time before a three count. This upset Bodom and Samuels who then proceeded to slam the referee after the match, causing the injuries.
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.

In a tweet that has since been deleted, Bodom stated: “Yo @RevProUK, plz get some qualified refs that aren’t s***. Also the York Hall fans are incurable, depressed slop jalops. Congrats to @DUNKZILLADavis & @kylefletcherpro on getting a free pass to bRoyal Quest tho. xoxox” while Samuels ended up apologizing for his actions and indicated that he never meant to endanger anyone. Eventually RevPro officials got a wind of the injuries suffered by Wilde and they released the following statement, announcing that they are disciplining Samuels while cutting ties with Bodom.
