That’s Just Sad. WWE Superstar Arrested For DUI, WWE Issues Statement.

There’s no good way to spin this. While they may not seem like it, wrestlers are people just like you and me. They have problems, issues and things to deal with and sometimes, those things do not go well. Some of them are a lot worse than others and that can cause trouble for those people. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case with a current WWE superstar who has been here before.

According to WEAR-TV (ABC affiliate in Pensacola, Florida), Jimmy Uso was pulled over on Thursday morning on suspicion of DUI and driving 86 miles per hour in a 45 miles per hour zone. The deputy police officer said that Uso had trouble standing and seemed confused while being told several times to sit in the police car. Uso was arrested for DUI and taken to the Escambia County jail where he was kept for nearly eight hours before being bonded out. He is due in court on August 15. This is the second alcohol related issue for Uso this year after a vehicle he was in was pulled over, causing him to nearly get in a fight with the -officer.

The WWE has issued a statement on the issue, saying that “Jonathan Fatu is responsible for his own personal actions.”

Here is Uso’s mugshot:

The Usos were in action on Monday and doing a bit better. Check out their match with the Revival:

Opinion: As mentioned, what is there to say about this? Uso seems to have a problem in this area and it is something that he is going to need to fix in one way or another. At the moment, I can’t imagine WWE releases him as they would be too afraid of the Usos winding up in AEW, but there is no way that something like this can keep happening as it is only going to wind up getting worse.

Will Uso get released? What will happen to the team? Let us know in the comments below.
