Spooked WWE Security Thought Lana & Lashley Wedding Officiant Was Rushing Ring!

Security mistook the poor guy for a fan rushing the ring.

Lana and Bobby Lashley were finally married on last night's WWE Raw, but the ceremony almost didn't go ahead.

Not because of an interruption from Liv Morgan, Rusev, or another ex-wife/husband, but because building security tackled the lovebirds' wedding officiant to the mat as he attempted to enter the ring, perhaps mistaking him for a fan.

This went down shortly after AJ Styles vs. Akira Tozawa. With 'The Phenomenal One' on his way up the ramp, it looked like a fan had hopped the barricade and caused a ruckus, but it was actor Rick Malone trying to slide into the ring for his role, as explained by announcer Vic Joseph.

The commotion can be seen in the background as Styles makes his exit, before security staff wrangle with Malone on the mat.

Per Lords of Pain, it's believed that Malone "spooked" security when he hit the ring too early and that they didn't know what was going on, so took the precaution of taking him down. Fortunately, Malone was unhurt and able to perform in the planned segment.

Poor guy may think twice before agreeing to further wrestling weddings, though.
