The fan involved in a now-viral moment with WWE Superstar Roxanne Perez at Saturday Night’s Main Event last week, has broken his silence—offering a full video statement on TikTok to address the backlash, clear up what really happened, and explain how Liv Morgan played a major role in resolving the situation.
In the video, the fan took responsibility for the tone of his heckling during Perez’s match and admitted it crossed the line. He insisted the heckling was part of a long-standing wrestling tradition:
“Nobody made me apologize. It was fully my decision to,” he said. “I feel like my tone in that video… I got too hyped. I got too caught in the moment and my tone was a little disrespectful. Matter of fact, it wasn’t a little disrespectful, it was very disrespectful.”
“I was just chirping a heel during the match. That’s something we do all the time. It’s very common and I never really meant any harm.”
The fan also responded to online accusations that his actions were driven by bias against female talent. A key moment in the viral video showed a security guard stepping in, which many believed was related to his verbal comments. He clarified that wasn’t the case at all:
“I’m not really sure why people are saying I’m disrespectful towards women… We don’t see color, we don’t see gender… People kind of took the wrong narratives and ran with it.”
“The security guard… told me to sit down and it was my last warning… It had nothing to do with the chirping. It was because you couldn’t stand up during a match in the front row.”
What ultimately helped resolve the situation was a face-to-face conversation—with Liv Morgan acting as a bridge. He declined to reveal the full details of the conversation, but confirmed it ended respectfully:
“I want to thank Liv Morgan for kind of setting the whole thing up. Liv saw me in Toronto, she came up to me, we set it up, and then Roxanne came and we just kind of talked things through.”
“I apologized, we cleared some things up.”
He ended the video by taking a shot at social media for escalating the drama but also mentioned his respect for wrestlers and WWE staff:
“I ultimately think the internet was the reason this situation got as big as it was. I never posted it publicly… Somebody took it off [my story], posted it on Twitter, and then it went out of control.”
“I will never go out of my way to disrespect someone that gives me entertainment… I walk in the arena, I’m very respectful to all the guards, all the WWE security guards, all the arena staff… All of this mess is because of misunderstanding and misconception.”
With the situation now reportedly resolved behind the scenes, this fan hopes the story ends there.
Do you think this apology was sincere—and was it enough? Should WWE do more to manage fan behavior at live events? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know what you think.
