Liv Morgan enters the ring at Utilita Arena Birmingham on June 21, 2026, in Birmingham, England. | Andrew Timms/WWE via Getty Images A wrestling fan is coming under fire after posting video footage in which he can be seen touching female WWE stars and then bragging about it. In the videos, he can be seen touching both Liv Morgan and Ivy Nile as they made their way up the entrance aisle before separate matches. Nile had a visible reaction to the physical interaction, turning angrily toward the fan and shouting at him. Morgan also appeared upset about being touched. Though the face of the person who touched the wrestlers isn’t visible in the footage, his voice is heard, and a friend of his is seen next to him wearing the same T-shirt in both of the interactions involving Morgan and Nile. Ivy Nile shut it down immediately! Fan tried touching her mid-entrance on Main Event… she called him out right there! 😤 That’s how it’s done.

The footage has since gone viral on social media, and the reaction to it has been overwhelmingly negative. “I did it again, touching wrestlers at ringside is my thing” WWE fan is going viral for reaching out to touch wrestlers as they walk out. pic.twitter.com/dxy06aYDng — FADE (@FadeAwayMedia) July 23, 2026 “Stop touching the wrestlers!” one X (Twitter) user wrote in response to the video involving Nile. In the same comments, a person noted: “He’s lucky that’s all she did. She is not someone to mess with.” Fade Away Media shared the clip on X of Morgan being touched, and someone wrote in response that Liv should “sue this fan for harassment.” “Why are they NOT eing kicked out and permanently BANNED,” another commented. “He deserves to get slapped in the face,” read an X comment. “Gonna be the WWE most hated annoying fan.” One person had another solution to prevent such unwanted contact, writing: “They need to go back to the old set up where the ramp barricades weren’t that close to the wrestlers.” There were at least a couple of people defending the fan, including an X user who wrote: “That’s why you pay that much for railing tickets, never seen anyone complain about this till now, just cos wrestlers are in character people think that’s how they really feel when people touch them.” The videos of Morgan and Nile come during a time of heightened attention on unwanted physical contact between wrestlers and fans. Aside from multiple stars speaking out about being followed around in airports and hotels, Fallon Henley was shoved by a young fan at the most recent Saturday Night’s Main Event while she was celebrating a victory for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. As she walked backwards from the ring with fellow Fatal Influence members Lainey Reid and Jacy Jayne, the fan reached over the rail and pushed Henley, prompting her to yell at him. Later in the night, it appeared as if the same young boy threw something at JD McDonagh and flipped him off. A few hours after the event, Henley took to X to further vent. She wrote: “Don’t touch the wrestlers. Period.” What do you think about such actions from fans? Let us know in the comments.
