They say that anything can happen when you watch WWE programming and on the November 22nd, 2021 episode of Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins was attacked by a fan as he was making his way to the backstage area. Luckily security intervened and Rollins was able to walk away from the incident.
While talking about the altercation with the fan on Club Shay Shay, Seth Rollins explained why he asked the authorities to get the man some help as opposed to pressing charges against him.
“That guy, from my understanding, was catfished by somebody pretending to be me. I don’t want to be rude, but he was not all there. There was something off about him.
For me, it felt like the wrong thing to do to try to get him incarcerated in any way. He wasn’t a person who had the means to pay a big fine and go through a whole legal process. I asked the judicial system that contacted me, ‘Could we please look into getting this guy some help?’
I’m lucky that he didn’t bring anything to be particularly violent with. That’s something that’s very scary in situations like that. But thankfully, we got on the other side of it, and you’re able to look at it in its totality and say, ‘Okay, what’s the best course of action here?’ And it’s probably to try to help this guy, if we can do that.
I wasn’t able to follow up, so I don’t know what happened. But what I do know is that I chose not to press charges for that reason. It didn’t seem to me that that was going to solve the problem.”
