More WWE wrestlers detail inappropriate fan experiences: ‘It was very overwhelming’

The aftermath of WWE WrestleMania 42 has been filled with cases and incidents of severely negative and inappropriate fan incidents. While WWE Hall of Famers Booker T and Sean Waltman were filmed in the bathroom and assaulted, CM Punk also got into a heated altercation with a fan.

Several similar incidents happened with Damian Priest and Royce Keys, as well as Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. Recently, speaking on the 520 Podcast for a new interview, former WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill reflected on her bad fan experiences.

“What they do is people get their kids to [ask] to sign the autographs. The parent is right there; it’s 4:00 in the morning at the airport. Why is your kid here? They have school. What are we doing? But no, I appreciate our fans. If anything, it shows us that what we’re doing is worthwhile because people don’t see the dark side of wrestling as far as the travel. Traveling is so tough, dealing with all of the other things, we have families and all kinds of other stuff,” she said.

Cargill opened up and noted how the entire experience in Las Vegas during the WrestleMania weekend was very “overwhelming.”

“The fact that fans show up and spend their hard-earned money and stand in line for hours to just shake our hand and let us see their face, it means the world. But it was very overwhelming this weekend. They were all in the lobbies and things like that. We have appearances, we have signings, and if you want to see us, just come to our meet and greets. But I’m going to stop when I have time. We’re going to do that, we’re going to make time. But the majority of the time, we’re rushing, and we’re going left and right. I think we did the best that we could do with all of the mobs that was going on in the hotel.”

WWE Superstar Je’Von Evans recalls his own bad experiences

In the same interview on the 520 podcast, the young star Je’Von Evans narrated how fan experiences can be both good and bad. “It’s very difficult, but I always remember being younger and not being able to buy WrestleMania tickets or, like, wrestling tickets in general. I was happy just to see a wrestler walking around, that would have made my day,” he said.

“I always kind of put myself in that situation, and anytime I get to chat up with a fan, I usually do unless they doing too much or I’m in a rush or I’m in a bad mood. It is very difficult, but it’s very cool too, you’re building a connection with fans.”

He also opened up about an inappropriate experience he faced during an episode of Monday Night RAW. “I think it was the Raw after Elimination Chamber. I jumped in the crowd, usually I be a little too energetic, you feel me? I come out for my entrance, and I jump in the crowd. You know, fans they tend to like [pat you on the shoulder] like, this is a wrestler. There was this one particular hand that was not above my waist. I said, ‘Oh’ and then I jumped into the other side of the crowd.”

In another report shared by Fightful Select, multiple WWE talents voiced their reactions to the entire WrestleMania weekend fan experience, as well as their opinion on the sky-high meet & greet ticket prices set by TKO and WWE.
