• Batista, Kevin Owens & Others Call Out SmackDown Wrestler For His Tweet In Support Of Donald Trump
After the massive riots broke out all over the USA due to George Floyd’s death, SmackDown wrestler Jaxson Ryker of The Forgotten Sons took to Twitter to post in support of President Donald Trump.
Thankful for the @POTUS we have! God bless America. Built of freedom. Forgotten No More

Kevin Owens didn’t agree with him and gave his honest opinion on how immature it was for Ryker to add his wrestling catchphrase in such a serious matter.
The freedom you speak of entitles you to speak your mind all you want. I’m not here to argue that. I just really need to tell you that I think you pushing your shitty wrestling catchphrase as all of this is happening is absolutely fucking pathetic.
Good night. https://t.co/d34xdOXZr6

Mustafa Ali also didn’t agree with what Ryker said, and called him out for his comments.
I’m thankful you posted this because I’m now aware of what you stand for. When black brothers and sisters are crying, you praise someone that refuses to acknowledge their hurt. https://t.co/O4xm5L3Rpl

Sami Zayn also responded the following to Ryker.
Literally built on oppression. https://t.co/yi26CWPgz6

WWE Hall Of Fame Class Of 2020 inductee Batista also got really angry on the comments Ryker made.
Not you.I was talking about my peer who had the nerve to post that ignorant ass tweet. Supporting a #fakepresident who is inciting violence and posing with Bibles like he’s a decent human being. Speaking the words of a dictator while people are being gassed in the streets. https://t.co/0yYFoS7FN1

I’m just keeping him nameless because he’s a sorry ass motherfucker who I refuse to let ride my coattails. He gets no love from me. He gets no rub from me. And if he would like to discuss it in person we have enough mutual acquaintances that he will be able to find me easily. https://t.co/IW25S376L4
