Jimmy Uso, the one-half of the WWE SmackDown Tag-team champions, was recently arrested on DUI charges and it was speculated that his on-screen appearance would have an affect but it turns out that the arrest has nothing to do with it.

Vince Russo opens up on Jimmy Uso
The former WCW and WWE writer Vince Russo addressed the matter on the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW with Dr. Chris Featherstone. Vince Russo pitched a storyline idea to incorporate Jimmy Uso’s real-life incident into WWE programming. Russo stated that Jimmy should have addressed to Roman Reigns about his issues with alcoholism. The WWE veteran added that Roman Reigns should then beat up Jimmy Uso instead of showing sympathy that would have been much more meaningful.
Here is what he said:
“Bro, what about, and I don’t even watch SmackDown. But what about Reigns reprimanding him, and then Uso breaks down and just says, ‘Listen, man, you know, I’ve got an issue, man. I’m an addict, man. I’m an alcoholic, bro.’ Like he really breaks down. ‘I’ve tried, I’ve gone to rehab. I’ve done this, and I’ve done that, man. What do you want me to do? I’m sick!’ Do you know what I’m saying? And then Reigns beats the crap out of him. Do you know what I’m saying? You could have actually done the angle and put more heat on Reigns for it,” explained Vince Russo.
“You know, bro, it’s funny because you hear about ‘Oh, they are PG, because we have stockholders now, this and that.’ Well, I guess the stockholders don’t matter in a case like this.”
