10 Terrifying Wrestling Attacks That Came From The Crowd

3. Seth Rollins (WWE Raw, August 15th 2016)

Seth Rollins was in remarkably fine form in the summer of 2016, not least considering how much a potential babyface run had been squandered following his return.

After losing the latter half of 2015 and following WrestleMania season through injury, his April return generated enormous cheers before he dropped an "each and every one of you" bullsh*t promo 24 hours later to enrage the crowd. It worked too well, as evidenced by this edgy interaction with another foolish ringsider.

It's relatively incident-free in the end - the fan moves towards Rollins, takes a shove in the chest and is then subdued by security staff before focus shifts to Finn Bálor's arrival as The Demon King - but the mere fact he effectively got right in the top heel's face ahead of one of the biggest shows of the year makes for a tense moment in the ring and a frantic one for those tasked with diffusing it.
