Multiple names from Ring of Honor were commended backstage for their conduct during an unfortunate incident at the most recent tapings. ROH tapings took place after the May 8, episode of Dynamite and saw a 'fan' act inappropriately during a match between Skye Blue and Rachel Ellering. The man, who had a child with him, made a series of sexual comments at Blue and focused on her appearance. Blue would later tell the man to "not be such a pervert" and later told the man to "f*** off" when the action spilled to the outside, according to one live report from PWInsider.


While Blue and Ellering were battling on the floor, referee Aubrey Edwards spoke with security who confronted the man who grew increasingly angry. The man was ejected from the show.

Skye Blue was said to be visibly upset as she headed to the backstage area immediately after the match according to a different fan's account of the situation shared to Reddit. AEW officials praised Skye and Ellering for keeping the match together despite the obvious distraction at ringside.

The clearly-inappropriate conduct from the fan has spawned a lot of responses on social media. On Twitter, Rachel Ellering said she'd never heard such vulgar comments said about a wrestler and made clear this went beyond mere heckling.



Aubrey Edwards made clear she wouldn't tolerate such comments made at anyone, stating that inappropriate conduct has no place in professional wrestling.



Skye Blue herself was appreciative of the support she received and hopes that there'll be a time when women in wrestling aren't treated this way.



This unfortunately wasn't the only time lines were crossed at the taping. During the AEW Dynamite match between Harley Cameron and Mariah May, fans in the front row were heard making vulgar comments at the pair. This was pointed out on the show by Saraya. While it's unclear if this incident was caused by the same person in Blue's situation, Saraya made her views clear on social media.



The comments aimed at Blue and others at the taping were highly inappropriate and do not reflect the vast majority of people who attended the tapings of AEW Dynamtie and ROH. Hopefully, this will be the last time Blue, Cameron, Saraya, May, and others have to deal with this individual as his harassment was certainly not wanted at the show.
