They say that anything can happen when you watch Monday Night Raw, and this week Seth Rollins was attacked by a fan at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
After a brawl with Finn Balor the show cut to a shot of Seth Rollins walking to the backstage area, and that’s when a fan tackled him to the ground. Rollins got the fan in a headlock, and then security broke it up.
Former WWE star Chavo Guerrero questioned the toughness of modern wrestlers after the attack when he posted the following on Twitter:
“Remember when the wrestlers were tougher than the fans? Ah, the good ol’ days. 🤷🏻♂️”
