Several people in attendance have mentioned that the crowd booed heavily as security forced a group of fans in the front row dressed as Ric Flair, IRS, The Ultimate Warrior, Paul Bearer to change their clothes.
The incident is causing somewhat of an uproar on sites such as Reddit. The fans who were forced to change noted on Twitter that WWE gave them the option to change their clothes or give up their front row seats.
They made us take the outfits off or give up our front row seats. #TheMan #RAW @aubreysitterson @MichelleDBeadle pic.twitter.com/eLPZZYRVkY
