A fan claims he was intimated backstage by ROH star Bully Ray at this past Saturday’s event in Portland, OR.
In a lengthly Twitter post, the fan states he was exchanging words with Velvet Sky which led to ROH security bringing him backstage.
According to the post the fan states he was yelling at members of Allure, which caused Velvet Sky to challenge him to come in the ring. She allegedly told him to “suck it”, and called him a “virgin”. The fan began berating her about her relationship with Bully Ray, which caused ROH security to ask him to come backstage. He states Bully Ray was brought in to speak to him backstage, and told him he needs to treat the girls with respect.
Another fan on Reddit verified what happened in the arena to be true, but couldn’t confirm what happened backstage.
Sat next to him, his story is legit. It was the third time in two days he’s booed her due to them being the only women heels they have and chances are she got annoyed this time
Can’t confirm what happened backstage obviously but as far as what happened ringside, whole thing is true
OK story time… I avoided saying anything until the show was over to avoid any further issue but… this honestly soured my to ROH in a big way. Honest to god story that can be backed up by about half a dozen people… https://t.co/8ECk6ewxJ3

Show starts. Dark match is some local girls fighting. Allure interferes at the end. Velvet and I exchange words along with the rest of the Allure. Nothing crazy. Mandy Leon spits on me from the side. Not preferable but I honestly don’t care. Segment ends

Side note. I love and respect like 99% of all wrestlers. I honest to god never try to make the show ABOUT me, get myself over, etc. My rule of thumb is to boo the bad guys and cheer the good guys. It’s rare that I’ll flip the script but I always decide to go along with the show

Some opening match happens. Wildly unimportant. Second match occurs and it’s a local v a local. Allure interferes at the end. I’m mouthing off to all the girls for no reason other than THEY’RE THE BAD GUYS
“Boo… you’re trash… get lost… no one wants you here… etc”— xIAMHOLLYWOODx (@xIAMHOLLYWOODx) June 3, 2019
At some point Velvet Sky seemingly loses her cool & is challenging me to come in the ring. Tells me to suck it, calls me a pussy, etc
No prob. Get your heatShe calls me a virgin. I remind her she has sex with that fat turd Bully Ray. Call them the tramp stamp trio. End segment

She goes to the back. Fast forward about five minutes & I get a tap on the shoulder
“Hey, we’re with security and need to talk to you about an incident that occurred”
Immediately I think of the Allure stuff but think that maybe Mandy got in trouble for spitting/face palming me

Then I kinda think this is a joke and look around. No signs of a joke from my buddies or crew. I’m SUPER perplexed and think there’s maybe miscommunication because nothing so far was a big deal at all. I oblige and follow security

Security takes me legit backstage. I’m still perplexed by the entire thing and was honestly very hesitant to follow them because they kept saying “we need to talk to you about an incident”.
No details behind just leading me into the back. What’s happening? What’s waiting for me?— xIAMHOLLYWOODx (@xIAMHOLLYWOODx) June 3, 2019
Get to the back and security is just asking me to be patient
“What’s going on”
“Just sit tight”
“Sure but what’s up?”
“Hold tight”
Time was slowing down but this was all happening SO fast— xIAMHOLLYWOODx (@xIAMHOLLYWOODx) June 3, 2019
Suddenly BULLY RAY comes out from a back room. Full on gear since he was in the opening segment of the show and he looks PISSED. Much bigger than me so I’m kinda taking a step back on this here. Security backs off and it’s just us two

He said “hey. I heard there was incident tonight with you and some of the girls”
“Uh… yeah? I guess” *I’m so lost*
“So here’s the deal. You’re done talking down to them. You need to treat them with respect. Don’t be saying anything you wouldn’t say to your mom, you got it?!”
— xIAMHOLLYWOODx (@xIAMHOLLYWOODx) June 3, 2019
I’m not trying to act tough. I was legit being intimidated with purpose and I wasn’t about to get kicked out during match 3 so I just bit the bullet and said “sure… yes sir… yeah, I understand… yup…”
He said “End of convo. Go be a fan”Security led me back to my seat

That’s the end in regards to a timeline of events.
The whole thing is still completely unbelievable and surreal, honestly.
I’ve gone to live events for 15 years and been following wrestling for 22 years. Never once heard of something like this happening
