WWE manager Paul Heyman caused a stir online after shoving a young fan at a recent event. The incident took place on Saturday, November 29, at Petco Park in San Diego, after WWE’s Survivor Series: WarGames. Heyman, 60, and wrestler Logan Paul were leaving the arena following their team’s victory when the encounter happened.
A bystander captured a video of the moment, which quickly spread on TikTok. The footage shows a young boy making his way past security and approaching Heyman. The boy got close to touching Heyman before the WWE manager grabbed him with both hands and pushed him back into the crowd.
The clip has been viewed more than 400,000 times on TikTok and has circulated widely on other platforms, including X, where one repost exceeded 1 million views. WWE did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Fans reacted strongly to the video, with opinions split. Some criticized Heyman for the aggressive push, while others defended him, saying he needed to stay in character. Some also focused on the security team, questioning why they did not prevent the fan from reaching Heyman.
One fan wrote, “This is why you should never meet your heroes in person…and now we have one more villain to deal with.” Another joked, “Little did Paul know… this experience triggered this young man’s villain arc.”
Some fans blamed the situation on the child’s parents, writing, “Personally I don’t think that kid should have gone up to Paul in the first place! And definitely don’t try and lay your hands on him! Where were the parents to restrain him and tell him to stay put? I don’t think this is Paul’s fault at all!”
