In case you didn’t know…
WWE events are known for their highly-regarded security arrangements, something that’s visibly ramped up during high-profile events such as WrestleMania.
WrestleMania 34 which took place at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana last night, was no different, as event security monitored the arena, in addition to the presence of local law enforcement officials.
The heart of the matter
One ought to note that the WWE Championship match between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura witnessed chants such as “you deserve it” and “you f****d up” echo throughout the arena, while AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura did battle inside the ring.
Veteran professional wrestling journalist Bryan Alvarez, revealed that a few fans were said to have been standing up during the matchup, which in turn led security officials to request them to sit down.
Nevertheless, the fans refused to cooperate, which in turn led to police officials escorting the fans in question out of the arena, during the match.
Furthermore, it was insinuated that since the fans in question inconvenienced others at the venue, particularly the people who were seated behind them, they were indeed subjected to the aforementioned “you deserve it” and “you f****d up” chants.
Besides, it was noted that said chants had nothing to do with the match itself.
What’s next?
WWE Champion AJ Styles successfully defended his title against Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania 34.
However, following their match, as Nakamura appeared to have respectfully bowed down and handed the title to Styles, he landed a low-blow on Styles; thereby turning heel.
Fans can expect the feud between Styles and Nakamura, to continue in the days to come on SmackDown Live.
Author’s take
Honestly speaking, the fans who kept standing up during the WWE Championship matchup deserved to be removed from the arena.
Not only was it inconveniencing, but also disrespectful towards other fans at the event.
Kudos to the WWE event security and the police officers for handling the situation with the requisite swiftness and knack.
