In the closing moments of Friday's edition of Smackdown On FOX, WWE Official Adam Pearce revealed that WWE Hall Of Famer Jeff Jarrett will serve as a Special Guest Referee at SummerSlam, during the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship clash between The Uso's and The Street Profits.
During his latest Reffin’ Rant on Twitter, Jimmy Korderas weighed in on the decision. Check out the highlights below.
On Jeff Jarrett's SummerSlam role:
“On Friday we found out who is going to be the special guest referee for that Unified Tag Team Title Match at SummerSlam between The Usos and The Street Profits. It’s gonna be none other than ‘Double J’ Jeff Jarrett. And a lot of people say, ‘Wow, that caught me off-guard.’ Exactly! It was unexpected. I was kind of hoping for Sami Zayn, because that would have made it a lot [more] interesting. But at the same time, now it’s keeping us guessing.”
On Jarrett's status in Nashville:
“Not only did they pick someone who is big in Tennessee and Nashville — because you know, that’s his home state and he was a big-time star, and he’s a Hall of Famer as well. But is he going to side [with someone]? Is he going to stay neutral? Is he going to do the dirty work for Mr. McMahon? We don’t know, they’re keeping us guessing and that’s what I like most about it. Looking forward to seeing Double J in stripes.”
