If you thought that the recent string of fans hitting the ring during matches involving former Shield members Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose was an angle, we can now be pretty certain it wasn’t. Today, PWInsider.com reported that the fan who jumped the rail and ran in the ring as Reigns and Ambrose uneviled mystery partner Chris Jericho at Night of Champions has not only been charged, but will be doing some jail time.
Oscar Ramirez, a 37 year old fan from Houston, Texas, was dressed in Shield attire and started posing before he was quickly removed by security and arrested. He was charged with criminal trespass of a property or building with no forced entry. Within hours, Ramirez entered a guilty plea and will serve 10 days in jail. If found guilty at a trial, he could have been sentenced to six months behind bars.
Until the fan was identified, the incident was used by a few fans as proof that the whole series of incidents had been a work. At least in the screenshots of his brief on-camera appearance, he had more than a passing resemblance to NXT referee and former independent wrestler Drake “Drake Younger” Wuertz. This caused Drake t take to Twitter to make it clear that he had not appeared on the pay-per-view:

Hopefully WWE is tightening up security in addition t hoping that criminal charges will act as a deterrent.
