If you're a fan, it's probably best to keep your hands to yourself unless invited.
That wasn't the case at a recent AAA show, where a fan was caught groping Scarlett Bordeaux during a match with Lady Shani. You can check out the incident below.

Bordeaux, who also wrestles for Impact, took to Twitter Sunday evening to comment on the matter. According to her, she was only subdued in response because she didn't realize what was going down, and thanked Shani for helping to get her out of the situation.
It is NEVER okay to touch a performer without their consent. I didn’t realize what happened until I watched the footage afterwards being so in the moment after a dive with my back turned otherwise I would have reacted much differently. Thnx to @LadyShaniAAA for having my back https://t.co/2YKT64sKIj

Just a final thought. If you wouldn’t want a stranger to grab you on the street, don’t do it to a wrestler as they’re putting their bodies on the line trying to entertain you. To the few who tried to justify this persons behavior-

What I wear is completely irrelevant. Could be a string bikini or a snowsuit, it doesn’t matter. My body is mine and you cannot touch me without my permission. Most fans I encounter are respectful, awesome people and I appreciate you.

On the same show that night, a female fan could be seen spanking a male wrestler.

Fightful has reached out to AAA for comment on the story, but haven't heard back.
