WWE referee Charles Robinson suffered an injury during the main event on Saturday night when Goldberg delivered his spear move. Although Robinson was not the intended target, his ribs took the impact. He later shared an update about his condition on Instagram. Fortunately, Robinson and Goldberg remain friends, and Robinson feels honored to have been part of the legendary wrestler’s final match. He is eager to make a comeback on next week’s SmackDown event in San Antonio, Texas, stating, “I’m a tough guy and I won’t let this stop me!”
Goldberg and Robinson have worked together since the late 1990s, with Robinson officiating many of Goldberg’s most memorable bouts, including the famous 1999 Starcade match. Goldberg’s recent match was his official retirement from professional wrestling, concluding a storied and celebrated career.
Fan Take: This incident highlights the physical risks even officials face in WWE, underscoring the intense and unpredictable nature of the sport. Goldberg’s retirement marks the end of an era, but moments like these remind fans of the strong connections and history shared behind the scenes in wrestling.
