Lee Moriarty and former WWE Superstar reportedly involved in fan altercation at AEW event
Reports have emerged following the most recent AEW event in Worcester, Massachusetts that Lee Moriarty and Stokely Hathaway were involved in an altercation with a fan at the show.
Moriarty and Hathaway have linked up recently, with the former WWE personality trying to make "Taigastyle" see the light and join forces with The Baddies. The 27-year old had previously been courted by The Blackpool Combat Club, with former WWE Champion Bryan Danielson being impressed with the potential that Moriarty has.
However, since hooking up with The Baddies, Lee Moriarty seems to have gotten under the skin of a few AEW fans. According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, one fan took it too far and was involved in an altercation with Moriarty and Stokely Hathaway at the most recent AEW event:
“There was an altercation between Stokely (Hathaway) and Lee (Moriarty) and a fan as they were leaving, which I’m sure won’t be on TV,” said Dave Meltzer. (H/T: WrestleTalk).
Different dude on the floor just got kicked out for exchanging words with Stokeley. Lee Moriarty looked ready to whoop dude’s ass. Dude then threw a shirt at Stokeley. Security booted him and he acted mad. Like, stop trying to be part of the show, ya jag #AEWRampage
At the time of writing, there isn't any official footage of the altercation, and no disciplinary actions have been taken regarding the performers or the fan involved. However, Sportskeeda Wrestling will have all the updates on this story as they emerge.
