In what a strange night for Monday Night Raw in the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York, it now transpires that a second fan was thrown out of the arena during the dark match.
On the latest edition of Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins was assaulted by a fan on the entrance ramp. Rollins had just beat down Finn Balor in the ring, causing a match between the two to be called off, and was exiting the arena via the ramp when the attack occurred.
The confrontation was briefly caught on television before the camera quickly cut away. However, it was confirmed by those in attendance that the fan jumped the rail and tackled Rollins before security intervened. The attacker was then dragged away to loud “a**hole” chants.
Following the incident, WWE released a statement that the individual had been handed over to the New York Police Department and would be prosecuted for the assault.
“WWE takes the safety of its performers very seriously. The individual who attacked Seth Rollins has been turned over to the NYPD and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

More weirdness from the crowd as the guy in blue gets ejected. No idea what was said, but Montez Ford waved him off with both MVP and Sami Zayn getting animated. pic.twitter.com/t3slCIs4ul

There was a happy ending however on Raw before the rest of the crowd went home as they serenaded Randy Orton’s daughter with a chorus of ‘Happy Birthday.’
