Jey Uso had to intervene when fan wouldn’t let go of Roman Reigns (VIDEO)
Jey Uso had to get involved when a fan took it a little too far with Roman Reigns during the WWE Clash in Italy 2026 event this past weekend.
Reigns was interacting with fans after his match against Jacob Fatu at the PLE when a fan grabbed his hand from the crowd. The fan then would not let go, even when Reigns tried to walk away, and Uso had to step in and slap the fan’s hand off the World Heavyweight Champion.
WWE Fan Incidents
The interaction only lasted a few seconds, but Uso stepping in and swatting away the fan is getting him a lot of respect from fans reacting to the video online.
There have also recently been issues with fans “stalking” performers at hotels and generally not knowing what the boundaries are between a quick moment and, quite frankly, taking the piss.
Wrestlers having to get involved when fans take it too far is seemingly ramping up even more in recent months. TMZ Sports recently had footage of a fan filming CM Punk’s wife AJ Lee and Bayley as they hugged and said goodbye to each other at the hotel after WrestleMania this year. Punk knocked the man’s phone to the ground after Bayley clearly asked the fan to move away. Punk was visibly angry, but the incident did not escalate any further.
Granted, an incident at an actual show is slightly different, but with these interactions becoming more and more commonplace it likely won’t be long before something goes horribly wrong.
