John Cena assaulted by fan on WWE SmackDown

John Cena was assaulted by a fan on WWE SmackDown earlier tonight. He addressed the situation immediately, as he verbally lashed out at the fans.

In the past, garbage being thrown at wrestlers who turned heel was nothing strange. Every long-time wrestling fan knows of it, with instances such as when WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan joined the nWo as the third man standing out.

However, in recent years, the practice fizzled down and eventually stopped. Unfortunately, that didn't stop a fan from assaulting John Cena with a bottle today. Thankfully, it bounced off the ring before hitting him and did not result in any kind of injury.

The star was not happy about being hit with the bottle either. He made it clear as he took a shot at the fans that this was not appropriate behavior and continued to mock them. Whether security approached the fan who threw the bottle is not known at this time. Presumably, if the culprit was spotted by security, he would have been addressed or removed.

There are no further updates for now, but stay tuned to Sportskeeda for any updates on the assault on John Cena with the bottle.

In the meantime, the star will be focused on his match against Randy Orton, as the two meet at WWE Backlash for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
