Jericho fights fan:

Chris Jericho has reportedly gotten into a physical confrontation with a fan of his band, after a gig in Canada. A young fan was hanging around near the tour bus waiting for the band to come out of the arena, for autographs, and when they did he was reportedly let onto the bus with the band. An inebriated man saw the younger fan get on and decided he wanted to get close to the band too. The band did not want him on the bus, but he became physical, trying to get aboard, so a member of the road crew stepped in to remove him. He ended up getting thrown from the bus and suffered a broken collarbone. This infuriated Jericho, who reportedly speared the guy off the bus, and after hitting the asphalt, rained punches down upon him. He got up shouted some abuse at him, then dropped down and started with the punches again. He tried to hold him down until police came, but the guy managed to get away. He was though later apprehended, and is currently in police custody.

Mark Henry reveals how bad Alexa Bliss was hurt:

"We sat and talked for about 15-20 minutes, and she was like, 'Yeah, I was really bad off. I couldn't remember where I was, I couldn't remember what I was doing in the city.' We were flying from London to Switzerland and she said, 'I couldn't remember what flight or anything. I had to rely one everyone else telling me what to do. I couldn't stand up straight, I had vertigo.' She said she was in a bad way, and then she came back too soon, banged her head again, and really was in a bad place. Now she's fine. She's been cleared. We are very happy she's going to be back in the fray, and I just wanted to remind her who she was. 'Remember who you are, don't go back too soon if you're not ready, and when you go back - Ronda's great, and Nia is doing her thing, and Becky & Charlotte, but you are a major player. And remember, when you come back, be who you are.'"
