Backstage Update On The Injured Referee On Smackdown

This week’s episode of Smackdown featured a match between Sonya Deville and Lacey Evans. During the match, the referee ended up getting injured and he had to be replaced. This left many fans wondering if this was a real injury or a work.

Mike Johnson of PWinsider has now provided us with the answer.

Johnson says that this was not a real injury and it was only a work for the match. Here is what he wrote:

A number of readers have written PWInsider.com asking about the injury on last night’s Friday Night Smackdown that led to Danilo Anfibio being replaced by Jessika Carr during Lacey Evans vs.Sonya Deville and whether there was any update.

The update is this – there was no injury.  It was a worked deal designed to add a different, unique cliffhanger leading into a commercial break, nothing more.  Anfibio is not really injured.
