WWE Superstars aren’t the only people who take risks in the ring. Injuries can appear when you least expect them, even for referees. Now, Jason Ayers is taking a bit of a break after suffering an unexpected affliction.
WWE Referee Jason Ayers Out Of Action
Injuries are a regular occurrence in professional wrestling, affecting not only wrestlers but also referees. WWE referee Jason Ayers shared on Instagram that he is now sidelined due to a leg injury.
Along with a sign that said that it has been zero days since an incident occurred, one similar to something you’d see on the floor of a factory, the WWE referee posted to let fans know that he’s taking a mandatory hiatus from the ring.
“When they say “break a leg” I don’t think this is what they meant. Looks like I’ll be on the sidelines for the next couple months!”

Jason Ayers’ Time In WWE
After starting his in-ring career in 1998, Jason Ayers worked the indies for a while. Then, his career changed forever when Ayers began as a referee for Ring of Honor in May 2005 at Nowhere to Run. In January 2010, Jason began with both Dragon Gate USA and EVOLVE,
Ayers has been a part of WWE since 2012, as he was with FCW prior to the NXT change. He officiated many important matches, including the finals of the NXT Tag Team Championship tournament, crowning the first champions, Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey on January 31st, 2013. He went on to get his main roster call-up, where he remains to this day.
Ayers doesn’t seem too discouraged by this injury situation. His little quip about breaking a leg showed that he, at least, has some humor still. Now, he will have to take it easy as his injury mends.
