2. Refs Can Be Heels, Too

Heels are a crucial part of wrestling, and they aren’t just found competing for titles, either. Throughout the history of wrestling, there have been heel refs as well, who look the other way to change the outcome of a match or who show a bias toward particular wrestlers. While most are unbiased, some are made to be heels (or “scabs” to many wrestling viewers) to get fans more interested in the match. Danny Davis was a notable heel ref, who favored the bad guys in the ring. It was even insinuated through commentary that he was being bribed. Like many other aspects of the WWE, heel refs follow a script to keep fans on their toes.
1. Sometimes, Referees Are Just as Surprised as the Fans

It only makes sense that WWE referees would have the inside scoop on all of the matches beforehand, right? Not necessarily. While most matches are predetermined and results are given to staff within the WWE, including the ref officiating the match, other times, the officials are left in the dark. One prime example is the infamous Undertaker versus Brock Lesnar match that took place at WrestleMania. Since this was such a high-profile match, the WWE was very secretive about the results, sharing with only a select few so that no leaked details would be revealed. Referee Chad Patton, the official overseeing this notorious matchup, was not aware of the results beforehand, according to sources. These sources say that he was simply told to begin counting whenever shoulders hit the mat. Some rumors speculate that he was actually told that Undertaker would be taking the match right before stepping into his ring. If these rumors are true, then he would have been just as surprised at the outcome when Brock Lesnar beat Undertaker’s undefeated streak.
