WWE star Seth Rollins was attacked by a fan during “Monday Night Raw” at the Barclays Center on Monday night.

Rollins was tackled by a fan who jumped from a guard rail and into the view of cameras. Both Rollins and WWE officials quickly worked to separate Rollins from the spectator before the fan in question was escorted out of the area by security.
