It is quite a familiar scene when fans act bizarrely during house shows of the WWE. These kinds of shows are not scripted and feature some random matches which do not get televised. The protocols and security are not kept tighter during these events which increase the chance of fans going after their favourite WWE Superstars.
One such bizarre event happened during a recent live event at the Pueblo City in Colorado. The show was hosted by the Smackdown brand on October 2nd just before Monday Night Raw. One of the fans tried to do a robbery from the time-keeper’s area.
The main event of the show got scheduled between Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Championship match. As we get used to seeing, before the start of any of the matches, the titles are handed to the referees who then give it to the time-keeper. The belts are kept around the area where the ring bell is kept.
Shoutout to the guy who tried (but failed miserably) to jump the barricade at the #WWEPueblo show

Apparently, one of the fans tried to rush into the time-keepers area and run away with the WWE Championship belt. He was immediately tackled by the security guards present and carried away from the scene.
No updates were available whether the fan tried to enter the ring or not. But, if he went for the same then obviously trespassing charges will be put on him. For now, he might face the charge of stealing WWE’s property from the show. The Footage got released on Dailymotion which is shown in the article.

This was the second time in a span of seven days that a fan tried to invade in a WWE event. Previously, at the NXT Live Event in Tampa Florida, a fan tried to enter the ring during the matchup that involved The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly).
In this case, he was welcomed by a roundhouse kick from Kyle O’Reilly before he was taken out of the ring. With such unprecedented happenings, the security level should be made tighter around any of the WWE house shows. Previously, we have seen fans invading even during an episode of Raw and Smackdown, as well.
