#5. Chris Jericho punches fan for trying to jump into the ring at AEW Dynamite: Road Rager
Fans are back at AEW shows, and so is the unpredictability! An astonishingly foolish fan tried to hit the ring during Chris Jericho's entrance, and Le Champion was least impressed.
The fan tried to unsuccessfully barge into the ring while Jericho's 'Judas' played, and the security team was quick to apprehend the culprit. Chris Jericho even sneaked in an unforgiving punch while the security neutralized the unruly fan.
The moment was certainly not planned as the cameras quickly panned away during the incident. The unforeseen fan attack also prompted MJF to send a stern message while staying in character:
"I welcome any other one of you fat white trash hicks to jump in the ring too, so I can beat your a**!"
Chris Jericho and MJF cleverly even referenced the fan attack during their segment, which got a pop from a hot Miami crowd.
There have been several instances of fan attacks in the past, and Jericho isn't the first wrestler to fire back at an unwelcome intruder.
