Halloween wouldn’t be the same without WWE. NXT’s Halloween Havoc is here. It‘s that time of year when horror emerges, and this time it was definitely a treat for the fans, except the one fan who was in the front row for the ladder match for the NXT North American Championship. Fortunately, this WWE star just missed injuring a fan in the audience with the ladder.
In the past, hits or other similar incidents have hurt spectators in a variety of sports, including baseball. While injuries to wrestlers are very regular, injuries to spectators during a match are extremely rare. It would have happened as fans may have witnessed terrible events during Halloween Havoc.

For those who missed the NXT event today, Von Wagner competed in a five-way ladder match against Wes Lee, Carmelo Hayes, Nathan Fazer, and Oro Mensah. Wagner attempted to position the ladder between the ring and the barriers in front of the live audience at one point during the bout. In the subsequent struggle with Mensah, he almost stuck a woman with a ladder who was standing next to the barricade.
Since it was an extremely uncommon event, fans quickly rushed to Twitter to share their reactions to the situation. Notably, several of the fans who voiced their opinions publicly mocked and jeered Wagner. Here are a few of the supporters’ responses to the situation.
