A fan shockingly hopped the security barricade and attacked Seth Rollins on the November 22 episode of WWE RAW, and the former WWE Universal Champion commented on the situation the following day.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Rollins admitted that the attack was “terrifying” before he went on to note that he tried his best to react in the moment while waiting for the security team.
“It’s terrifying, brother,” said Rollins. “It happened very quickly, so I was mostly just reacting and hoping that, you know, our security team would come and do their job, which they did very quickly, and then it was just trying to detach and move on and hope that everybody’s okay.”
When asked if he suffered any serious injuries in the attack, Rollins emphasized that he escaped the incident without any.
“No, no serious injuries,” said Rollins. “Nothing like that. I was safe, he was safe, everything’s okay.”
Rollins refused to comment on whether he wanted to press charges, but he shared his belief that the perpetrator should be banned from attending WWE shows, at least for the time being.
“I think as a precedent he probably should not be allowed at the events,” said Rollins. “I’m always open to forgiveness and second chances, but for the time being at least [he should be banned.]”
Rollins also complimented WWE’s security team and stated that this assault was a one-off, as people slip through the cracks sometimes.
