VIDEO: Referee Charles Robinson Addresses the Controversial WWE SummerSlam Main Event Finish

By Nick Paglino

WWE has released the following backstage video of referee Charles Robinson addressing the finish of tonight’s WWE SummerSlam main event.

Robinson explains it was wrong of the timekeeper to take it upon himself to ring the bell, as only the ref has the authority to call for the bell.

He then said after reviewing the footage, however, The Undertaker did tap out to Brock Lesnar but he did not see that as he was paying attention to Lesnar’s shoulder to count the possible pin fall.

Robinson said that Paul Heyman can say the audience saw Undertaker tap out all they want, but at the end of the day he didn’t see it happen and there’s nothing he can do about it now:
