Professional wrestlers put their bodies on the line every single time they step into the ring, and normally it’s their opponent they have to focus on. However, from time to time fans do get involved with the action, and that’s exactly what happened to Joseph Sawyer (formerly known as Joe Gacy) at the GCW Crossroads event over the weekend.
At one point during the show the former WWE Superstar got into a heated confrontation with a fan who was pointing at Sawyer and screaming at him as he returned to the ring. Sawyer sat on the rope and dared the fan to get into the ring. The fan then proceeded to throw a drink at Joseph Sawyer before he lunged at him.
Luckily the altercation was broken up pretty quickly as several people stepped in and removed the fan for the venue.
PURE CHAOS IN THE ARENA! 🗣️🔥 The crowd lost their absolute minds over Joseph Sawyer—security had to step in before things completely boiled over! 💥👇

Joseph Sawyer was able to avoid any serious issues when it came to the fan altercation, but it still wasn’t his night as Atticus Cogar managed to defeat Sawyer to win the GCW World Heavyweight Championship.
