Every single fan in the WWE Universe wishes they could get a closer look at the in-ring action, and immersion is the name of the game for many entertainment companies and sports leagues, so there’s no reason Paul “Triple H” Levesque to not at least consider the addition of referee cameras.
And it sounds like he’s doing exactly that, per Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, in a move that would truly strike at the heart of wrestling fans’ cravings.

It’s not a new idea by any stretch of the imagination, considering it was mostly originated by Eric Bischoff and WCW in yesteryear during their war with the WWF at the time, but the latter owns the rights to the former nowadays so, hey, the spoils of war, and whatnot.

It’s also key to note that WWE has ushered in a new head of production and, as such, the look and feel of the promotion is now leaps and bounds over the dated look it presented as recently as early 2023 — now invoking a true sports experience with backstage pre-fight walks and in-ring closeups during the introductions of superstars before the ringing of the bell.
Having referees don a camera of some sort, be it headwear or a bodycam, would be welcomed in an era where fans simply can’t get enough of WWE.
There's a con for every pro though, and a referee camera would also make potential botches that much more egregious in the eyes of fans — something WWE will likely consider as well.
The promotion has not addressed the report as of yet.
