This past Wednesday, Skye Blue competed against Rachael Ellering at the ROH television tapings. According to PWInsider, a fan in the front row verbally harassed Blue during the match.
Ellering stated that the fan was ejected from the arena after the match.
“The speed in which @RefAubrey and I got out of the ring last night post match to get this creep kicked out was remarkable. Olympic medalist speeds.
I’ve NEVER in my career heard such vulgar things being said to talent during a match.
Sexual harassment is not heckling.”

Referee of the match, Aubrey Edwards, stated the following:
“If you yell disgusting, vile, hateful things at my coworkers, I will make sure you’re a-s gets kicked out.
There is no place for that in wrestling.
Heckling is fine, but when you’ve made the performers (me included) feel uncomfortable in their place of work, you’ve gone too far.”
