Apparently, this is a “Fans Bring The Weapons Match”
Of course the fan has a stop sign in his Gargano Sign. #NXTTakeOver

That fan should be thrown outta the building for bringing a damn stop sign under the disguise of a wrestling sign to this event dammit!!

Somebody needs to have a word with security if this 100% Real Punter managed to sneak in a whole ass stop sign. Chicago traffic is descending into chaos as this lad has stolen an actual stop sign to bring to the wrestling
