WWE News: Video Catches Fan Who Attacked Roman Reigns; Sheamus Misses Australian Tour
It seems that not everyone in Canada is happy to see Roman Reigns fight in the ring. A fan was caught on video throwing a replica Money In the Bank briefcase to the WWE star during his match against Bray Wyatt on Saturday night.
The 2015 Royal Rumble champion was in Victoria, British Columbia, as part of the headline event of the WWE SummerSlam tour. The 30-year-old wrestler was in an on-going match with Wyatt when after he threw his opponent, was suddenly hit by a fake MITB suitcase at the back of his head, reported Wrestling Inc.
In the video, it was seen that the fan that threw the briefcase was seated at the front row. The wrestler was taken by surprise and appeared to be stunned and shocked with what happened. It took Reigns a few moments to take note of what went on before continuing with his fight against Wyatt.
Some security men approached the fan and a fracas ensued after the incident as the guilty fan seemed to be struggling against the security personnel. The referee even went down the ring and confronted the fan that threw the suitcase.
The altercation caused some delay as the match had to be stopped while the security attempted to pacify the man. The fans in the event then began to chant, "Get him out," and the security team was able to take him off the stadium.
There was no report on why the fan suddenly threw the suitcase but many speculate that he got into the heat of the moment and decided to join in the action between the two wrestlers.
According to Bleacher Report, it was not the first time such an incident happened.
In 2013, WWE was on a tour in South Africa when a fan entered the ring and hit Randy Orton as he celebrated his win that time.
Reigns did not appear to be deeply injured from the incident.
Meanwhile, another wrestler might be injured and is probably the reason he was not present in the recent Australian tour of WWE.
Sheamus was advertised to be part of the annual tour in the land down under when he was pulled off from the event.
The wrestler has taken to Twitter to announce that he is not joining the cast.
"If anyone's looking for me, I'm #UpOver. #WheresSheamus #LickingMeWounds," posted the Irish on his Twitter account.
Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline speculated that the star might have suffered a concussion in Monday Night RAW or is suspected of suffering from one that's why he was pulled out.
He has also been missing in action in recent filming of Smackdown.
However, the rumors have yet to be confirmed by WWE or Sheamus himself. But if the post on Twitter and hashtag from Sheamus is any indication, it might mean that the wrestler is battling an injury and needs to recover for a while before he returns back to the ring again.
