As reported earlier, a fan jumped into the ring and tackled Bret Hart while he was giving his speech at the Class of 2019 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday.
Although the speech was able to resume a few minutes later, chaos broke out inside the ring when Hart was tackled and many members of the WWE roster and staff jumped inside to help him and calm down the situation inside the ring.
WWE’s production team quickly cut to a black screen and then proceeded to show crowd shots for around a minute. Surprisingly, the live shot resumed showing various WWE stars entering the ring to try and check on Hart near a corner of the ring.
Videos immediately started showing up on Twitter from those attending live, including @AntonioGethers who shared this video below showing RAW Tag Team Champion Dash Wilder of The Revival getting in a punch on the unidentified fan.
