Huge brawl breaks out in crowd at WWE SummerSlam in viral video Back to video
The melee kicked off during the second night of the two-night extravaganza, which serves as one of WWE’s biggest events of the year.
In the clip, which has been viewed more than a million times on social media site X, the melee kicks off between a group of at least six fans – four women and two men – in the front row of the bleacher area at the stadium.
“Oh they’re scrapping for real,” the fan filming the action can be heard saying.
The clip shows a woman in a black T-shirt appearing to grab and throw a woman in a white tank top, who retaliates by throwing elbows towards the first woman’s head.
A woman in a red skirt who had been tussling with a man in a black shirt and hat then got in between the two and grabbed the first fan by the hair, giving it a brief yank for good measure.
The first woman in the black shirt attempted to retaliate by throwing punches at the woman in the red skirt’s body before several members of security stadium arrived.
Several other fans in the immediate vicinity were seen attempting to grab and separate the combatants.
That didn’t stop the woman in the red skirt from trying to get in one final shot, however.
“Oh, look at that cheap shot!” the person filming the incident said after the woman in the red shorts threw a kick at a man while being separated by security.
It was unclear what sparked the action in the crowd and if there were any further consequences for those involved.
While the brawl went viral on social media, the event also was notable for another reason: The return to WWE by Brock Lesnar, a former champion who had been named in a sex trafficking lawsuit against former CEO Vince McMahon last year.
