News on Jimmy Uso's backstage heat (Patreon)

To follow up on WrestleVotes' report that Jimmy Uso has “high level people in power” extremely disappointed & legitimately pissed off over his DUI arrest, we can expand on that, and confirm it. Fightful has spoken to numerous talent, staff, and high level WWE names this week about their feelings on Uso, and there's unanimous concern across the board for him personally. 

Fightful reached out to WWE for comment on Uso's arrest, but they did not respond. In the past, they've noted that wrestlers are responsible for their own actions. Multiple WWE Superstars expressed to Fightful that they were happy that wasn't the line this go around, considering the situation has happened multiple times, and they think WWE should get involved to make sure things get handled before someone gets hurt. 

Jimmy Uso is well liked among those that we spoke to, but one compared the infractions to Rob Van Dam's in 2006, noting that more happened to him than in three arrests. One top WWE name called Uso's current storyline "the story we've all been waiting for," and expressed disappointment that he'd risk that.  The overall tone was that of fear for safety, disappointment, and frustration.

It's worth noting that in a 2019 DUI charge, Uso was found not guilty.
