In a recent Instagram post, longtime referee Charles Robinson revealed that he was bitten by a bat in the middle of the night.
“Great way to start the morning,” he wrote, “2:00am and got bit by a bat. That’s right, a bat! 4 years later in the ER and six shots.”
Robinson then shared a video of a nurse giving him multiple shots in his hand.
Fellow WWE legend Chris Jericho shared his thoughts about the bat incident in the comment section of Robinson’s post. “Now you’re officially a vampire!” he declared.
The comment, among others, seemingly inspired Robinson to share a photo of himself wearing a Batman mask a couple of days later.
“Ready for work in Boston for WWE SmackDown,” he wrote. “Am I Batman or a vampire?”
Charles Robinson Was Previously Took a Big Hit During Night of Champions
The bat incident occurred a little over a month after the WWE legend was injured during Night of Champions.
During the event, Seth Rollins was about to cash his “Money in the Bank” contract when wrestling icon John Cena tackled him and sent Robinson, who was refereeing his match, flying to the ground.
Days later, Robinson recalled the incident on Raw Recap. “I’m running as hard as I can. This was a cash-in, so I’m running about 80%. I’m not giving it my all… I’m trying to hold back.”
“It’s a funny stride,” he continued. “I’m trying to hold back, thank God, because if I’d been going 100%, the collision would have been much worse.”
Recalling the moment while still in kayfabe, Robinson said, “I’m running down the ramp, and I see movement out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was Stu, the camera guy… So when I divert back straight. All of a sudden, bam! I’m airborne.”
Robinson noted that Cena, who was portraying a heel (bad guy) character at the time, didn’t speak to him after the incident. “The really sad thing about this is, I thought we had respect,” Robinson said about Cena. “But afterwards, he said absolutely nothing. Nothing.”
