Fan Attacks Seth Rollins at WWE RAW at Barclays Center
Seth Rollins was attacked by a fan during WWE RAW on Monday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The event was being broadcast on USA Netowrk and Rollins was shown walk from the ring when a fan tackled him and took him down. One of the referees working the event was there with Rollins to jump in and try to help immediately as cameras cut away without explaination.
Barely pay much attention to Raw these days but tonight I turn it on and the first thing I see is Seth Rollins being tackled by somebody who immediately disappears and it is never explained who he was or why he was tackling Seth Rollins pic.twitter.com/RKTPlBaI66

At least one fan uploaded video of the incident as security and other WWE employees came running in to get control of the fan. Rollins screamed at the guy and fans chanted "f-ck him up" as he was dragged backstage to presumably be arrested.
