Former WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion has been absent from in-ring action for a while. Recently, he showed up for a signing and it turned out that he was called out for a fight by a random stranger.

During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, Rowan shared the insane story that just happened moments before he showed up for the interview.

“I mean, it happened to me today. I went to the signing today. It was at 7/11. And this guy was up front this frail individual. And he basically said, you tough, you can fight. And I was like, I don’t fight. I said, and then he’s like, Well, I do. And then he, like, try to get my face. I just walked past him I wasn’t going to start anything. I go in, I buy some energy drinks, whatnot. And as I’m checking out five cop cars are outside, five, which was nuts and obscene to me.

“And I look, look around with the guys, you know, being talked to by five police officers. And I’m like, as people are working on, like, what happened? Well, I guess the guy’s been threatening everybody that’s been walking through the whole day. So they called the cops and they said, This is LA. So usually the cops don’t show up. But five is pretty overkill,” Erick Rowan said.

Rowan had been released from WWE in 2020. Since then, he’s made a couple of appearances in All Elite Wrestling as well. Rowan made a special appearance earlier this year on Bray Wyatt’s tribute episode.
