A significant security incident occurred on WWE SmackDown when a spectator threw a bottle towards John Cena. The action took place during Cena’s in-ring segment.
John Cena was addressing the live audience regarding his upcoming Backlash 2025 match against Randy Orton. The thrown object did not make contact with Cena.
Footage circulating on social media captured the individual responsible for throwing the bottle. Arena security personnel quickly identified and escorted the fan from the venue.
Discussions online suggest the fan could receive a lifetime ban from WWE events. The company has previously issued such penalties to protect its performers.
John Cena notably remained composed, maintained his heel character, and proceeded with his promotional speech despite the disruption from the crowd.
