7 Times the WWE Universe invaded the ring
One of the key reasons for the WWE's success and longevity is the relationship it has with its fan base. Few other forms of entertainment, sports or otherwise, are as interactive with their fans as the WWE is.
The WWE Universe may openly complain about the product on a regular basis, but deep down, the fans love the product and will continue to support it no matter what.
Occasionally, however, that passion can spill over a little bit, and whether it's a few too many beers at a house show, sheer anger at a booking decision, or just the desire to get your face on television, fans have invaded the WWE ring, causing disruptions and carnage.
Not all invasions are unwanted though, of course, with the WWE occasionally inviting fans into the ring to partake in the programme themselves.
With that in mind, let's take a look back at 7 occasions where the WWE Universe, invited or uninvited, have invaded the WWE ring.
#7: A new member of The Shield
If you're going to be crazy/stupid enough to invade a WWE ring, then picking the right time to do it is key, and in fairness to a fan in Houston, he couldn't have timed his any better.
At the start of a six-man tag-team match between The Shield and The Wyatt Family at Night of Champions 2015, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose were set to unveil their third partner, when a fan, dressed in Sheild attire, slid into the ring and stood with the other two members.
The live audience, The Wyatts and The Sheild, were all fairly baffled by the situation, and security quickly dragged him away. He would later serve 10 days in jail for criminal trespassing.
