Rize comes into the arena with Luke Combs - When It Rains It Pours blaring out of the sound system. On his way into the cage it seems that Zack Rize has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Zack Rize seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
