“This Guy Doesn’t Need To Go to Prison”: Seth Rollins Reveals Real Reason He Did Not Press Charges on Fan Who Attacked Him on Live TV

The kind of craze WWE fans ooze out is unparalleled in every sense. There are many instances of fans doing unthinkable acts in front of their favorite stars. But sometimes these incidents can turn into something ugly too. But what 24-year-old Elisah Spencer did to Seth Rollins during WWE Monday Night Raw at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY was far beyond all the limits. Two years ago on RAW, a fan attacked the ‘Monday Night Messiah’ Seth Rollins. When Rollins was returning backstage from the ring. There was a massive buzz regarding the bizarre incident. But what Rollins had in his mind at that time might leave you taken aback.

Ahead of taking up the next big threat to his title in the form of a furious Finn Balor at the upcoming SummerSlam, Rollins looked back at a past incident. What he had to say regarding the matter already established him as a long-reigning champion in terms of compassion and humanity.

Seth Rollins once tried to empathize with a fan who mauled him

During a past Raw episode, a fan hopped the barricade and dared to bull-rush Seth Rollins. It raised a big question about the performer’s safety. However, WWE officials managed to stop before any party got injured. Later, the fan was taken into custody, with the charge of attempted assault, and attempted violation of arts and cultural affairs.

Now, how Rollins views the entire incident is really a testament to the broad horizon of his heart. Two years later, during a recent episode of Impaulsive, the 40-year-old spilled that he wanted to help the attacker instead of bringing press charges against him. Keeping aside his star ego, Rollins seems considerate of the unstable mental health of that fan which he came to know via some post-incident interviews and social media posts.

”It was clear that he was not in a proper state. I was like, this guy doesn’t need to go to prison. He needs help, so if there’s anything or any services you guys offer for people in situations like this, please do that on my behalf,” Rollins noted.

But why was that incident took place? What was in the headspace of the attacker? Let us dive into that.

The attacker’s side of the story

According to the attacker’s claim, he was looking to settle a beef dating back to 2019 that appears to be a catfishing scam started by a fraud stealing Rollins’ identity. Spencer recalled how he first met Rollins at a meet-and-greet a few years ago.

Back then, he asked him for help to promote his career in the wrestling business. Things took pear shape after he started communicating on messenger services. In a bombshell confession, he revealed Rollins was asking him to send him gift cards in exchange for money. He bought $3,000 in cards.

Although the accused later issued an apology, realizing he should have moved on instead of launching revenge, but seemed to still be in the belief that the scammer was Seth Rollins.

Whether he was really in mental distortion or not and what happened to him later is still unknown to us. But Rollins’ effort to be this understanding of a fan’s situation is truly commanding.
