Knowing a worked injury from a real one is obvious most the time once you've seen a few. Well, in WWE anyway.
A worked injury will fit into the flow of a match of angle. Like the injury coming at the end of the match. Then they'll replay the injury a dozen times while the announcers speculate what this could mean for the feud. After they have moved on to the next match or segment, they barely or never reference the "injury" for the rest of the night.
A real injury is more jarring. It disrupts the flow of the match. I'm thinking of when Enzo got knocked got knocked out last year for example. It just came out of nowhere. Also, the cameras don't know what to do. Sometimes they will cover it, but more often they'll cut away. They do often show the replay of it still, but the announcerd will adopt their best serious voice to convey the serious nature of the situation.
Occasionally, but not often, WWE will intentionally treat a fake injury as DEAD SERIOUS, giving it all the trappings of a shoot injury. Those can hard or even impossible to call out at the time, but that's very rare for modern day WWE to do.
