As expected, WWE officials are reportedly not happy with Jimmy. According to @Wrestlevotes that at least a few “high level people in power are extremely disappointed and legitimately p*ssed off” at Uso for this latest arrest.
“I’ve spoken to two sources this morning on the Jimmy Uso news. I can say with certainty that a few ‘high level people in power”-‘ are extremely disappointed & legitimately pissed off over the arrest. This many times isn’t a mistake or bad luck. It’s personal judgment. Not good.”
