Drew McIntyre has addressed fan behavior during WrestleMania 42 weekend in Las Vegas, sharing a strong message after a series of uncomfortable encounters outside the ring.
The former world champion posted a video on April 21 (via X) showing positive fan interactions. However, his caption revealed a different side of the story — one that didn’t quite follow the usual “meet and greet” script.
Drew McIntyre calls out fan behavior after WrestleMania 42 hotel chaos
McIntyre first acknowledged respectful fans who attended official events. “For those fans who spent hard earned money… I appreciate each and every single one of you,” he wrote, highlighting the value of proper interactions.
However, his tone shifted when addressing incidents at the talent hotel. “To those who rushed my family and I in the hotel… or shoved a camera in my face without asking… please don’t do that ever again,” he stated. He added a warning that landed like a Claymore out of nowhere — “You’re lucky I’m a calm natured person outside the ring.”
The comments follow wider reports of security concerns during WrestleMania week. According to multiple accounts, fans gathered in hotel lobbies and near elevators, approaching talent at all hours. McIntyre specifically criticized late-night situations, noting parents “kept your kids up till 2am throwing them in front of us.”
Other incidents added to the growing concern. A viral clip showed CM Punk knocking a phone away from a fan, while Booker T reportedly described being filmed in a restroom — a reminder that some lines shouldn’t be crossed, even in a business built on breaking barriers.
McIntyre’s remarks underline a clear divide between fans who respect boundaries and those who blur them. WrestleMania may invite chaos inside the ring, but outside it, talent expect a different kind of respect.
With WWE yet to publicly address the situation, the spotlight now shifts to how the company manages fan access during future major events.
