WWE authority figure Charles Robinson discloses that a bat bite spurred an overnight hospital stay for him; he humorously describes the incident as an unconventional way to initiate his day.
WWE referee Charles Robinson, affectionately known as "Little Naitch," found himself in an unexpected and unusual situation last Wednesday morning. The long-time WWE employee, who has been a part of the company since 2001 and previously worked in WCW, was bitten by a bat[1].
The incident occurred during WWE's "Saturday Night's Main Event," where Robinson was involved in a spot during the match between Gunther and Goldberg[2]. The identity of the person who hit the bat towards Robinson was initially unclear to him.
The encounter with Goldberg wasn't the only high-impact moment for Robinson during the event. He also took a spear from the legendary wrestler, which resulted in a cracked rib[2]. Despite this, Robinson managed to maintain his composure and continue with his duties as a referee.
In a twist of events, Robinson was also airborne after being bulldozed by John Cena during the Night of Champions premium live event in June[3]. This incident, too, went viral, further cementing Robinson's popularity within the wrestling community.
Following the bat incident, Robinson was taken to the hospital for treatment. He received four shots and later shared a photo of himself in the hospital on social media, appearing to be in good spirits[1]. Robinson captioned his post with a detailed description of the incident, which garnered well-wishes from fans in the comments section[1].
In a recent episode of "Raw Recap," Robinson recalled his encounter with John Cena and the bat incident[4]. As of the latest reports, it's unclear if the bat bite will keep Robinson out of action for upcoming WWE events[1].
"Friday Night SmackDown" is set to be in Boston, and fans will be eagerly waiting to see if Robinson will be present for the event[5]. Regardless, Robinson's resilience and dedication to his role as a referee have made him a beloved figure in the world of professional wrestling.
