WWE Referee Forced To Show Dreaded X Sign As Star Suddenly Gets Injured

A WWE referee signals X to indicate there's an immediate need of medical attention.

A WWE referee was forced to show the X sign following an injury suffered by a young star.

WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats) is a reality show comprised of up-and-coming superstars from the Performance Center, which is now in its second season. The young stars are vying for an NXT contract, and they are being mentored by Hall of Famers The Undertaker, Bubba Ray Dudley, Booker T, Shawn Michaels, Mickie James (for Season 1), and Michelle McCool (for Season 2).

Moreover, a few current superstars have shared their expertise in LFG, such as former World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, CM Punk, AJ Styles, and Charlotte Flair, among others.

During the August 10 episode of WWE LFG Season 2, Sirena Linton faced Bayley Humphrey in a singles match. Linton tried to jump off the top rope, but Humphrey caught her and dropped her hard to the mat.

The 22-year-old looked discombobulated after the gruesome spot as she tried to reach the ropes, forcing the referee to show the dreaded X signal, and the medical team quickly arrived on the spot.

When she was backstage and was about to get treatment, the 22-year-old upstart revealed that she was discombulated.

Following the injury she suffered, it will be interesting to see if Linton will be able to continue in the competition. Fans will have to tune in to WWE LFG Season 2 to see what’s next for the 22-year-old as she aims to get a WWE contract.
