Paul Heyman shoved a young fan at WWE’s Survivor Series, sparking backlash and debate.

On November 29, 2025, Paul Heyman drew widespread backlash after a video showed him shoving a young fan who rushed past security during WWE’s Survivor Series: WarGames in San Diego. The incident occurred as Heyman and Logan Paul exited the arena following a victory by their team, which included Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar. Heyman, who had provided Paul with brass knuckles during the match, pushed the child back after the fan approached too closely. The shove sparked intense online debate, with some defending the reaction as a necessary safety measure in a chaotic environment, while others criticized it as excessive, especially given the fan’s apparent age. WWE has not issued a statement, and no official comment has been made by Heyman’s representatives. The moment quickly overshadowed the match itself in public discourse.
