Fallon Henley had barely finished celebrating a championship win before her mood changed completely.
As Fatal Influence headed to the back after winning the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at Saturday Night’s Main Event, a kid in a white T-shirt suddenly reached out and shoved Henley from the side. She stopped immediately. Clearly irritated, Henley spun around and shouted: “Don’t touch me!”
The moment didn’t end there. After the show, Henley jumped on Twitter and made sure everyone knew exactly where she stands when it comes to fans getting physical with wrestlers.
“Don’t touch the wrestlers. Period.”
It was a frustrating ending to what should have been one of the biggest nights of Fatal Influence’s WWE run. The trio had just knocked off Paige and Brie Bella inside Madison Square Garden to capture the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. Instead of soaking in the moment, Henley walked backstage dealing with something she never should have had to deal with in the first place.
Henley may have walked out of Madison Square Garden with championship gold, but the moment everyone ended up talking about happened after the match. Her message couldn’t have been any clearer: cheer, boo, scream all you want—but keep your hands off the wrestlers.
