Sean Waltman has added his voice to the growing chorus of WWE talent speaking out about the security failures at the MGM Grand hotel during WrestleMania 42 weekend, revealing he was physically assaulted and stalked in a bathroom during the events.
Waltman posted on X, addressing both the CM Punk phone incident and his own experiences at the hotel, where WWE talent were staying throughout the weekend, with insufficient security to manage the volume of fans who had access to the lobby, elevators, and common areas.
“That guy and all the rest like him can get f***ed,” Waltman wrote about the fan from the Punk incident. “It was insane how these people were. I got physically assaulted and camera shoved in my face, stalked in the bathroom, and more.”
In a follow-up post, Waltman clarified that his frustration is not with fans taking photos or recording in public spaces, but with those who invade personal space and cross clear boundaries. He also noted that the situation at the Horseshoe hotel, where WrestleCon was held, was significantly better, with fans described as completely respectful in that environment.
PWInsider had flagged security concerns as early as Thursday of WrestleMania week, with talent expressing hope that measures would be added before the weekend reached its peak.
Booker T also spoke out following the weekend, describing the fan behavior at the hotel as the worst he had ever witnessed, including an individual who filmed him inside a bathroom.
Waltman is a WWE Hall of Famer as a member of both D-Generation X and the nWo and serves as a coach in WWE’s ID program for independent talent. He also helped induct Dennis Rodman into the WWE Hall of Fame during WrestleMania 42 weekend.
