A fan ran into the ring during a Seth Rollins promo on the WWE RAW go-home show to WWE SummerSlam
Seth Rollins was out in the ring to end the second hour of WWE RAW on Monday night from Corpus Christi, TX. He was continuing the story where he calls out The Demon King version of Finn Balor after being promised to come face to face with him. In doing so, though, he first had to taunt Finn quite a bit and make sure he said whose house Balor was in. That’s when something unexpected happened.
While he was in the middle of his promo on Balor for the buildup to the SummerSlam match, a fan suddenly appeared on the screen. He had apparently jumped the barrier and got all the way into the ring before being tackled by security. After it occurred, Rollins burned a hole in the fan with a stare somewhere between “what in the hell are you doing?” and “I will end you.”
In fairness, Rollins saved the promo quite well by using it to mock Balor. The former WWE World Heavyweight champ looked at the fan who was now off camera and said, “Is that the Demon King.”
Take a look at the full fan run-in below:

Though it hasn’t happened in quite some time, there was a bit of a problem near the end of 2015 with fans getting over the barricade and into the show. In fact, Rollins was involved in another moment of that ilk as a fan hopped onto the entrance ramp and walked down to the ring with him before being tackled by security.
If you’re a wrestling fan, don’t ever be that guy. Not only does it ruin the show for the thousands of other people in attendance for a few minutes, but you’re also liable to take a beating. Is getting the top of your head on TV really worth that? Probably not.
