In response to what Daivari had to say, a fan with the handle @JPrice02 explained that he shouldn’t have to apologize for an acting role:

Personally, I believe you should not have to apologize. No actor, in a movie, would have to apologize for a roll, why do wrestlers?

Editor’s Note:

I really feel for Ariya. I find him to be a terrific competitor, underrated in the Cruiserweight division. Yeah, I recognize what WWE attempted to do, which worked well seemingly for the hometown crowd, but not for others. I think people need to recognize that everything was a simple storyline. There was no hatred involved from any of those competitors.
