Going to a WWE live event is an exciting experience. For many fans, a show, whether it be a house show, TV episode or PPV is their only chance to watch WWE Live during the year and fans look forward to an entertaining night.
With that said though, there are some fans who have to ruin it for everyone.
On occasions, there have been some fans who have even jumped the barricade to attack the Superstars in the ring, for a multitude of reasons.
Even if you don't like a wrestler as a character, no fan should ever jump the barricade.
Here are five WWE Superstars who were attacked by fans, and how they handled the situation.
#5 Eddie Guerrero
With his cocky demeanour, incredible ability in the ring and 'Lie, Cheat and Steal' mantra, Eddie Guerrero became one of WWE's most beloved stars during his near-six-year stint with the company.
During a RAW show in 2002, one fan certainly wasn't a fan of Latino Heat, and could have seriously hurt the former WWE Champion if things hadn't been controlled.
During a Ladder Match with Rob Van Dam, Guerrero was blindsided by a fan, who shoved Eddie of the ladder, leading to a very dangerous fall.
With cat-like reflexes, Guerrero landed on his feet, and after giving the fan a swift punch, the intruder was taken down by security.
Now we would never condone violence by a WWE Superstar against a normal fan, but under these circumstances, the intruder had it coming.
#4 Dean Ambrose
Dean Ambrose may no longer be part of WWE, but the Lunatic Fringe accomplished plenty during his time with the company. A former WWE Champion, Ambrose also captured the company's Triple Crown and Grand Slams, before departing earlier this year.
At a SmackDown taping in 2015 though, Ambrose nearly faced a real-life situation when a fan jumped the barricade.
According to another fan who attended live, the assailant attempted to stab the Shield member but was fortunately subdued by security.
Whilst an argument could be made that security should have stopped the fan before they got over the barricade, at least the situation which could've been much worse was dealt with.
Fortunately, Ambrose was okay and would capture the Intercontinental Championship later that same year, before winning the WWE World Champion in July the following year.
#3 Randy Orton
Throughout his 17-year career in WWE, Randy Orton has achieved a lot. A two-time Royal Rumble winner and 13-time World Champion, the Viper has appeared in countless matches for the company, both televised and untelevised.
At a July 2013 live event in Cape Town, South Africa, Orton entered the ring ready for what he thought was going to be another normal night.
As he posed on the second rope though, an over-exuberant fan got in the ring, low blowing WWE's Apex Predator.
Ever the professional, Orton sold the attack like a champ, but was still able to compete that night, where he defeated Big E.
It turns out that the attacker was a local wrestler, trying to make a name for himself, but was escorted from the arena before either Superstar got a hold of him.
#2 Bret Hart
The most recent WWE Superstar on this list to be attacked by a fan, Bret Hart didn't deserve what happened to him at the 2019 Hall of Fame ceremony.
In the middle of his second induction (this time for his work as part of the Hart Foundation), the former WWF Champion was jumped by a fan, who was promptly tackled by security and WWE Superstars alike.
A classless act, the assailant wouldn't exactly be ejected from the event unscathed, as he received a few knocks by UFC star and husband of Ronda Rousey, Travis Browne, as well as the Revival's Dash Wilder.
If there is a silver lining to this, Hart's attacker united the wrestling world, as both fans, Superstars and even those who have never worked with WWE condemned the man's actions.
#1 Stone Cold Steve Austin
Arguably the greatest WWE Superstar of all time, Stone Cold Steve Austin but during a live event in Germany, even the Texas Rattlesnake felt the fury of a fan.
During a match against long-time foe Triple H, an unknown fan ran into the ring and attacked Austin, stopping the match instantly.
Despite being his sworn enemy, it was The Game who made the save, stopping the fan and delivering a similar beating to the would-be attacker.
Austin recently shared footage of this on his Twitter, though opinion has been split on what was right and wrong.
Though some believe that the Game and Austin went too far in their retaliation, others have argued that if you enter that ring when you shouldn't, you get what's coming to you.
Either way, we can't imagine this fan interrupted any more matches ever again.
