8 times fans attacked WWE Superstars and what happened afterwards

#3 CM Punk

CM Punk had an intense rivalry with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon in 2012, and the two had a street fight on the October 8, 2012 episode of WWE RAW. Punk had inflicted a lot of damage to McMahon, but Ryback came to the rescue of McMahon, and Punk chose to escape.

CM Punk eventually went through the crowd and escaped from McMahon and Ryback. When he was standing with the fans, Punk was being pushed around by these rowdy fans, who clearly hated him. An annoyed Punk retaliated and hit a fan in the face, but he was an innocent fan, who hadn't been involved in the abuse hurled by the fans towards Punk.

CM Punk apologized after the incident in an interview with WWE.com:

“I think the whole situation sucks. It’s an unfortunate and isolated incident. I was up in the stands, surrounded. Somebody said, ‘let’s push him down the stairs.’ I got hit in the ribs three times. I was getting shoved and I was getting punched…Then I started getting tagged in the back of the head. Unfortunately, I lashed out in the heat of the moment and I apologize. I’m really just glad nobody was hurt."

Thankfully for Punk, the fan whom he hit, Charles Schmidt, did not press charges.
