A fan was thrown out of AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door after he allegedly started taking photos of Tay Conti.

The incident seemingly occurred during the pay-per-view's first match, which saw Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, and Minoru Suzuki take on Eddie Kingston, Wheeler Yuta, and Shota Umino.

According to Twitter user CholulaConAmor, the fan walked up several rows and got close to the barricade. He then started taking photos of Conti, who was at the ringside area, from behind. Soon after, security at the United Center stopped him and ejected him from the arena.

Shortly after the match, Tay Conti took to Twitter to praise the security in the arena.

"Our security is the f***ing best," wrote Tay Conti.
