WATCH: Oba Femi And Dominik Mysterio Confronted By Autograph Scalpers Outside Of Hotel

Two WWE stars have found themselves at the center of separate fan harassment incidents in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania 42 weekend, with Oba Femi targeted by autograph scalpers outside his hotel and Dominik Mysterio confronted by an aggressive fan after declining photo and autograph requests.

Video circulating online shows Femi standing outside his hotel when a group of scalpers surrounded him, hoping to obtain autographs they could later resell for profit. Femi ignored the group entirely and did not engage with them.

In a separate incident, AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio was confronted as he exited a vehicle with multiple people approaching him at once. After Mysterio declined requests for photos and autographs, one person can be heard telling him to “have a heart” before adding, “don’t forget, we made you.”

The incidents fit a pattern of fan entitlement toward WWE talent that has become an increasingly discussed topic. Stephanie Vaquer recently shared her own experience of being followed by a fan who made her uncomfortable and directed hurtful comments at her after she declined photo requests on her birthday.

Years prior, Rey Mysterio faced similar criticism when he refused to sign multiple items for a fan he suspected intended to resell them for profit rather than keep them as a genuine supporter. WWE talent are not obligated to fulfill fan requests for autographs, photos, or any other interaction outside of officially scheduled appearances and paid meet-and-greet events.
