Lashley will somehow end up getting pinned by Angle without actually being in the match. That's happened before, Great Muta vs Eddie Gilbert in a No DQ match. Gilbert hit a crossbody on Gary Hart and the ref counted him. Oh jeez, don't let them know there's a precedent there!

I think Aries will be the ref, then cash in his feast or fired case during the match while he is still the legal referee. Somehow this leads to him intentionally counting for one of them pinning the other anyway, because TNA.

Strictly leaving it at World Heavyweight Champion, the only real possibilities are Lashley and Sabin, because I doubt they'll use the NWA-TNA history.
If we include World Tag Team Champions...anyone brave enough to put money down on Steiner, Tomko, Anarquia, or Crimson?
(Yes, I went to wikipedia to look up the title histories.)

Here is the one of the surprises. BREAKING: A former World Champ returns to #IMPACTLive as Special Ref of #AngleVsYoung. Find out who in first 5 min It looks like Aries in that silhouette. That's clearly Vacant.

I'll tag this, it is has a minor spoiler on the potential ref as well as a possible return: {Spoiler}{Spoiler} Bully Ray looks to be the surprise ref. He is the only person who meets all of the criteria that Dixie has laid out and does not have a current relationship with WWE.
Also, Velvet Sky is expected to return tonight and she is dating Bully so there is another tie.

Ric, you are forgetting the 8th Former World Champion.
He might be the one that will be the ref of the WHC match.
Its rumored Aries contract has expired already and he might be the 8th guy.

...for the ref, since Corgan is now involved perhaps it could be Raven?? since they are friends i could see Billy bringing him in like he did when Resistance Pro started.

A former World Champion? With how bad the budget has been lately, I think Dixie was able to hire former NWA World Heavyweight Champion "The Colorado Kid" or AWA World Champion Otto Wanz.

It's rare when both sides of an arrangement can be met with, "You can do better."

TNA for all their faults is not stupid enough to let a guy's deal expire just so they can make him a surprise return. It is the guy I posted, there is/was no other possibility.

That also happened with Rock pinning HHH during his match with Shane the day after WM2000 and the ref counted him out.

Steve Small, TNA's longtime Senior Director of Production, will be leaving his position at the end of May to pursue an opportunity with Teach For America. He's been a valuable member of our family and we wish him the best as he leaves to enter the world of teaching.
We welcome Ron & Don Harris (AKIA the 6'7" twin Harris Bros) back to TNA as they will be tag teaming to head up our production team moving forward.
Small was the guy who called the IZ people cast members in 2010. IMO this is the Dixies biggest surprise.
