WWE exec Paul Heyman sparks fury after shoving young fan away from Logan Paul in wild viral clip

WWE manager Paul Heyman has sparked fierce controversy online after he was seen shoving away a young fan who tried to approach Logan Paul this weekend.

The viral clip shows Heyman, who has spent over four decades in the wrestling business as an on-screen manager for countless superstars, making his way backstage with Paul after their victory at Survivor Series before the fan suddenly emerges from the crowd.

After somehow making his way past security, the boy approaches Heyman and gets close enough to make contact with him seemingly in an attempt to meet Paul.

Yet instead of engaging with him, the iconic wrestling executive brutally pushes him to the side and continues to make his way out of the arena at Petco Park.

Fans were left divided over the viral moment on social media, with some hitting out at Heyman over his ruthless move.

'It’s a kid bruv, @HeymanHustle you ain’t have to do lil buddy like that,' one user told him on X.

Another posted: 'I understand the situation but Paul could have a little more empathy, they are what they are because of the fans'.

While a third put: 'Come on Paul, that was a kid!'

Others, meanwhile, argued that the boy had no right to run up to Heyman and grab him.

One said: 'Someone needs to teach the kid about boundaries since the parents obviously haven’t.'

Another wrote: 'The kid grabbed Heyman. In a split second like that, it would be hard not to react just on instinct. I'm more questioning why the arena security guard just stood there and let him by.'

While some even suggested Heyman was still very much in character. 'He’s a heel in character. This is what’s expected,' one said.

'Once a heel, always a heel,' wrote another.
