10 Behind The Scenes Secrets WWE Don't Want You To Know

10. X Marks The Injury

This one won't exactly be too surprising to anyone who has seen a wrestling spot go badly wrong in the ring, but it's worth mentioning all the same - if only because it's an extremely important part of the business.

Essentially, whenever a wrestler gets seriously hurt in action - like not just ah my leg hurt, but I'm not sure I can actually stand hurt - the referee, after receiving confirmation (the hand squeeze thing), will let those in the back know by crossing his arms to make an "X".

Even though WWE knows most fans know this, it seems to be (mostly) off-limits as a "worked" plot device. Doing the X when nobody is really hurt would be the wrestling equivalent of calling the police because your pizza is five minutes late.

If EMTs then come rushing down to ringside, stretcher in tow, you know that something serious is up, and you should probably stop chanting about how much you hate Roman Reigns for a couple of minutes.
