Fan Invades The Ring During AEW Dynamite: Road Rager
No, this fan accosting Chris Jericho and MJF wasn't part of the script...
Life's three golden rules:-
1. Don't tug on Superman's cape.
2. Don't eat yellow snow.
3. Don't interrupt Chris Jericho's Judas singalong. Never interrupt Chris Jericho's Judas singalong.
One rogue fan learned the third rule the hard way during last night's AEW Dynamite Road Rager special, as the former World Champion helped chased him off as he attempted to enter the ring.
The audience member appeared during Jericho's ring entrance for an in-ring confrontation with rival MJF. With the crowd singing Judas' chorus after the song had finished, Chris turned his attention to the ramp, where security were grappling with the fan. Understandably angry, Jericho's face turned sour. He stormed over and took a swing at the invader before stepping through the ropes and onto the apron, shoving him as security dragged him away.
MJF turned it into heat right away, daring any other "fat white trash hick" to hit the ring and try the same thing.
The invasion wasn't part of the show. Per PWInsider's Mike Johnson, the situation wasn't a work: an audience member really tried to hit the ring and get at Jericho, which raises security questions about AEW and the venue.
While the incident was partly captured on television, the clip below shows it from a different angle:-
A fan trying to get into the ring is a big no no! #AEWDynamite pic.twitter.com/5Y4mdQFYlA
