WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (March 14th)
2. A Wounded Referee
Raw was a dangerous place to be on Monday. As mentioned, Triple H suffered a nasty gash during Roman Reigns's attack, and while "The Game" wasn't injured in the sense that he'll miss time, video posted to WWE.com showing the WWE World Heavyweight Champion being treated proved that his wounds were anything but fake. It's also been well-publicized that Neville was badly hurt during his match with Chris Jericho. While attempting a baseball slide, the former NXT Champion broke his ankle and shin, forcing an early finish to the bout. The high-flyer was scheduled to participate in the multi-man Intercontinental Title match at WrestleMania, but he'll have to miss that match - and presumably, several more months of action. The last casualty was a referee during the Reigns-HHH brawl. A crate caught the referee in the leg, forcing him to hobble away from the brawl. That made TV, but the Wrestling Observer offered further info - he needed both stitches and sutures.
