A couple pro sports leagues (the NHL and NFL, if not more) are implementing concussion spotters which seems like a good start, although their efficacy is still a bit questionable. Idea being that if they see a likely concussion happen, the player is taken off the field/ice and evaluated, potentially preventing them from going back out there.

When you have something shorter like a wrestling match that might only go 5-10 minutes at most, that's probably not as easy to do. I don't know if they have independent doctors evaluating the talent when they come back through the curtain, and what kind of power they have if they're there at all.

First people would likely be training up the referees to recognize when something's gone wrong and give them the power to end a match prematurely if something looks really bad. I can't imagine Vince being wild about the idea though.
