RevPro Issues Statement Over Assault Of Referee – Sha Samuels Also Speaks Out

Yesterday referee Aaren Wilde posted a thread about how he was beaten up by Josh Bodom and Sha Samuels in an unscripted part of the show. Josh was being pinned and Aaren counted the pinfall. Josh was supposed to kick out at two, but didn’t, so Aaren counted the three.

Sha and Josh were supposed to lose the match, so nothing was really botched other than then time left in the match. After the bell rang, Sha bodyslammed Aaren without his consent and then Josh proceeded to bludgeon Aaren outside of the ring. Due to the attack, Aaren may have to retire from officiating wrestling because of injuries.

RevPro have now issued a statement via Twitter.

RevPro said Aaren never reached out to them before taking to Twitter. That they waited to comment on the matter until they had the facts. They said Sha told the truth when reciting the events but Bodom did not. If any fans were witness to the event they can reach out to a RevPro.

Usually there are two sides to every story, and if it wasn’t for fans showing footage of Bodom attacking Wilde outside of the ring, one story may have not been proven true.

This is quite a mess for RevPro, but management now seems to be trying to right the wrongs and do everything they can to make their promotion safer for talent and fans.

Sha Samuels also took to Twitter to make a statement.

I got kicked in the face to the pleasure of the audience for my trouble and hoped the mistake was forgotten about. At the time I was only concerned about the integrity of the match. We spoke afterwards, and all seemed well.

I can only apologise for what happened…..

the way things used to be. Things are different now.

I have reached out to Aaren privately and understand if he wants to take his time to get back to me, or if he doesn’t want to speak to me at all.

I wish he had reached out to me privately…..

Wasn’t meant to share this, but feel I need to protect myself. Here is the slam, as you can see I’ve protected him.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. pic.twitter.com/5jvmkePQfZ
