WWE won’t fire him unless he actually kills someone. He is a relative of Dwayne Johnson, that whole family is off limits.

Not even remotely true. As others have stated, being a member of the Anoa'i family didn't stop the WWE from firing Umaga when he refused to go to rehab for his drug issues, nor Yokozuna when he refused to lose weight, nor Rosey or Manu when they didn't have anything for them.

This stigmata of the Rock's relatives being protected needs to end. Yes, there may be some level of preferential treatment to stay on the good side of their biggest mainstream export, but even that doesn't make his family bulletproof.

Yeah, people tend to use that Rock crutch just to bash those they don’t like, such as Roman and Nia.

The fact that WWE hasn't issued a statement yet makes me think there actually will be some sort of intervention/repercussions here. They usually are quick to put out the whole "Jon Fatu is responsible for himself" type statements.

I don't imagine him getting fired unless he refuses help to tackle these issues. Another name not mentioned with the Anoai family releases was Rikishi. He refused to comply with WWE over his weight issues and was released. The family is not untouchable. One thing for sure is that he won't be trusted with a top level program for a long time if ever.

[Chainsaw]

This is only going to end when he kills someone in a car while drunk. Full stop.

[BitterAF]

Just because he's famous doesn't mean the company has to disclose how they follow up, intervene, or what Uce chose to do/not do. Some wrestling fans always feel entitled to know the personal lives of wrestlers and assume hearing nothing means nothing was done and "f*** this company/that wrestler"

Sometimes you just gotta play the long game and in 20 years go "gee I hadn't heard of Uce getting another DWI, glad his life turned out better"

[The Rick Jericho]

Hopefully hitting the road again means they can ride the bus. So he doesn't have to worry about driving.

New details have been revealed on Jimmy Uso’s recent DUI arrest after the police report was released.

As noted, Uso was arrested on Monday night in Pensacola, Florida after being stopped by police who witnessed him run a red light while speeding. He later failed sobriety tests and was taken to jail overnight for misdemeanor DUI, speeding and running a red light. He was bailed out of jail the next morning. You can see his mugshot photo below.

The police report notes that Pensacola police officer William Roper was running a radar in the area of Garden and I Streets on Monday night, in a marked patrol car, when he observed Uso’s white Dodge Charger traveling east in the inner lane. Uso was clocked doing 50 in a 35 mph zone, and while the officer was catching up to Uso’s car, he observed the vehicle running a red light at Garden Street and A Street.

Uso was then pulled over near Garden and Rues Streets. The officer immediately smelled a strong odor of alcohol, and after identifying him, he returned to the car and asked Uso to step out. Uso walked to the rear of the car and was seen swaying. Roper asked Uso if he had consumed any alcohol that night, and it was reported that Uso said he had “multiple” beers.

The officer then asked Uso to submit to field sobriety tests, which he agreed to. Uso then walked with officers to the parking lot of the Ever’man Cooperative Grocery & Cafe at 315 West Garden Street, where he did the sobriety tests. The officer stated that Uso was unable to keep his head still, and had multiple signs of nystagmus, or involuntary eye movement. Uso also had difficulty maintaining his balance, and difficulty performing the walk & turn test. During the one-legged stand test, Uso was unable to maintain his balance, and placed his foot down multiple times.

Uso was then placed under arrest for DUI due to failing the field sobriety tests. The officer asked Uso to submit to a Breathalyzer test to determine his alcohol content, but he refused to answer. The officer read him his Implied Consent, and Uso then agreed to give the breath test. Uso was transported to the Pensacola Police Department where another officer gave him the breath test. He blew a .202 and a .205, well above the legal limit of .08 in Florida.

Uso was charged with a DUI citation, and traffic citations for speeding and running a red light. His car was left secured, and legally parked, where he was pulled over at. He was then taken to the Escambia County Jail, where he bonded out the next morning at 9am ET after posting a $500 bond.

The arresting officer did have his department issued body camera and in-car camera activated.

Speaking of Roman, they wellnessed him for 30 days as he was in the midst of a title program

Of course they aren’t untouchable but compared to most wrestlers on the wwe they aren’t seen as dispensable and are given more chances for minor screw ups eg Nia jax being dangerous in the ring. 

but multiple DUIs are in no way minor screw ups and IMO WWE need to do something, because this could get very serious and they may have the chiefs HC Andy Reid situation where his son killed a child because he was drunk.

Is he backstage to get a public scolding by management and then told to go home by Uber?

Because there's zero other reason he should be there.

We literally have no context for what he’s there for.

suffering a consequence would be better rather than getting to live his life only with a chauffeur now

[The Rick Jericho]

I think he's here tonight. To get written off of TV. Roman beats him to a pulp.

Props to whichever one is drinking out of a KFC bucket

[Kalmia]

I'm not going to get angry at him being backstage at Smackdown until I know why. If he appears on TV like nothing happened, then WWE deserves every criticism they're going to get and then some.
