In this article, we will look at nine WWE Superstars who got into fan incidents during WrestleMania 42 week.

#9. Royce Keys

The 2026 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner, Royce Keys, was a victim of an uncomfortable situation with a fan. Keys was seemingly being followed around by a fan for a photo and an autograph.

Thankfully, the situation didn’t escalate, and the erstwhile Powerhouse Hobbs handled it with grace. A video surfaced on social media showing Keys shutting down the fan while maintaining composure.

#8. & #7. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch

Fightful Select reported that Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch also encountered an uncomfortable situation with fans. As the real-life couple emerged from a room, a fan stepped into their path, prompting Rollins to nudge the individual away.

Rollins and Lynch had to stop fans from further bothering them and filming them without consent.

#6. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T shared an uncomfortable situation that happened to him during WrestleMania 42 week. The veteran revealed that a fan went as far as following him to the bathroom, filming him.

On his Hall of Fame podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer shared details of the disturbing incident.

“I remember a guy literally filming me in the bathroom. When I walked out, he goes, ‘Hey, hey, Booker,’ and I just kept walking because I was so mad because he was filming me in the bathroom, you know? But for me, it was the toughest time I think I’ve ever had to deal with as far as fan interaction, this year at WrestleMania in Vegas. Like I said, a lot of them were just outright disrespectful.”

The five-time WCW Champion agreed that the company should have provided better security last weekend.

#5, #4, #3. CM Punk, AJ Lee, and Bayley

The most viral incident of the weekend came from CM Punk, AJ Lee, and Bayley. A fan was recording the female stars without consent. The Role Model tried to take AJ away from the situation, but the fan followed the ladies and kept recording them.

Punk intervened and smacked the phone out of the fan’s hand. TMZ Sports released a video of the incident taking place in the lobby of the MGM Grand hotel. Security got involved immediately, preventing the matter from escalating further. Many within WWE believe that the fan was at fault for the situation. As of now, no legal action is expected to be taken against The Second City Saint.

#2. Damian Priest

Once the CM Punk incident circulated online, many more came to light. One of them noted that minutes before Punk’s altercation, a female talent was being swarmed by fans, and Damian Priest had to intervene and help the female star get out of the predicament.

The Archer of Infamy wasn’t booked for The Show of Shows, but had to deal with a fan incident.

#1. Drew McIntyre

This one is ironic because, before WrestleMania 42, WWE star Drew McIntyre released a Public Service Announcement, sarcastically instructing fans to respect superstars’ privacy during the weekend.

However, a video surfaced showing the Scotsman being swarmed by fans in the hotel lobby, asking for pictures and autographs, exactly what McIntyre told them NOT to do. The Scottish Warrior reacted to the events with an X post, thanking genuine fans while blasting those who invaded his and his family’s privacy.

“For those fans who spent hard earned money on a chance to say hello, take a photo, have something signed, or give me one of my many, many bracelets, I appreciate each and every single one of you. To those who rushed my family and I in the hotel, kept your kids up till 2am throwing them in front of us, or shoved a camera in my face without asking, you’re lucky I’m a calm natured person outside the ring. Please don’t do that ever again.”

McIntyre was in action on Night One of The Show of Shows. He faced Jacob Fatu in an Unsanctioned Match. After a hard-hitting battle, The Samoan Werewolf picked up the victory over The Scottish Warrior after delivering a Mighty Moonsault to the Scotsman, who was lying on a table.
