WWE star speaks up after an uncomfortable moment with a fan caught on camera, saying ‘Please don’t touch.’
WWE star Fallon Henley recently spoke out after her first main roster title win was overshadowed by a surprising moment with a fan. Henley, who’s part of the Fatal Influence group, became tag team champion alongside Lainey Reid by beating Brie Bella and Paige at Saturday Night’s Main Event in New York.
Their victory was helped by interference from Jacy Jayne, and they quickly rushed away from the ring to celebrate on the ramp. But while having her moment, a young fan standing at the guardrail pushed a bloodied Henley.
The incident happened live on WWE’s broadcast, and Henley reacted strongly before the feed cut away, missing what she said to the fan. Fans on social media didn’t hold back, criticizing the child’s behavior.
One fan said, “I don’t care if this was a kid… this was unacceptable!” Another wrote, “Disgusting behavior. Even if it’s a kid, please teach them to NOT touch anyone without permission. These performers risk a lot to entertain us.” Others agreed, calling it “absolutely disgusting” and saying the child and their parents should be banned for being so disrespectful.
Henley herself shared a clear message on social media: “Don’t touch the wrestlers. Period.”
In another story from the weekend, WWE Intercontinental champion Penta made headlines after being seen without his mask backstage at Fanatics Fest in New York.
Streamer N3on, with 681,000 followers, was live at the event that featured big names from sports and entertainment. WWE had a big setup with signings and a special entrance. Penta was backstage with superstar Stephanie Vaquer when N3on introduced himself.
Penta wasn’t wearing his mask and asked N3on to delete the footage. N3on agreed, but since the video was live, it quickly spread online. After that, N3on was told he couldn’t film in that area the next day. He followed the rules and, after being invited to WWE’s show at MSG, explained the situation and apologized.
“I just want to say sorry,” he said on stream. “It was a misunderstanding. They told him he could take his mask off there and told me I could stream. Things just got mixed up. I never wanted to reveal him on purpose, and I’m sorry.”
