Fan Enters Ring, Approaches Roman Reigns During WWE Night of Champions 2015

In what feels like an unfortunately growing trend, another WWE fan attempted to become a part of the action after hopping the security barricade. The incident came shortly before Dean Ambrose, Chris Jericho and Roman Reigns battled The Wyatt Family at Night of Champions.

SB Nation's Bill Hanstock provided a brief GIF of WWE security tackling the fan:

WWE would release a statement on the situation, per 24wrestling.com: “WWE takes the safety of our performers very seriously and any fan entering the ring area will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

This comes nearly three weeks after a fan walked down the entrance ramp with Seth Rollins during an episode of Raw. Earlier in the summer, a fan threw a replica Money in the Bank briefcase at Reigns, and a fan attempted to attack Ambrose.       

Maybe WWE needs to do something regarding its security procedures to cut down on occurrences like this. Although patrolling thousands of fans is impossible, it's inexcusable whenever anybody gets so close to the talent in the ring.

At least WWE officials reacted quickly enough before the situation escalated.
