The death of George Floyd has been a reality check for the never-ending racism. The issue is creating ripples across the globe. US President Donald Trump is receiving flak for his insensitivity towards the matter. Lately, WWE star Jaxson Ryker too is facing the heat from fellow mates like Kevin Owens, Batista, Sami Zayn, and others.
Amidst the ongoing tense situation, Donald Trump is at the receiving end of criticism as the cops cleared the peaceful protestors with the use of tear gas, pepper spray bullets, and flashbangs, from Lafayette Park near the White House. Later, Trump walked across the park and clicked pictures near St. John’s Episcopal Church (the church which was damaged during the riot) and returned to the White House.
Such an insensitive act of Trump is being heavily criticised but WWE wrestler Jaxson Ryker supported him by tweeting, “Thankful for the @POTUS we have! God bless America. Built of freedom. Forgotten No More”.

As a reaction, many WWE wrestlers including Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and others have bashed Ryker for his view. Reacting to the same, Owens wrote, “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 fu*king pathetic”.

On the same, former WWE star Batista wrote, “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.”

Here’s what others tweeted:
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

I get you’re a “bad guy” on tv. And I’m HOPING that’s all this is. Even then, that ain’t it. But if this is actually your true thoughts – I’ll be really sad, man. 😔 https://t.co/9unml5rsiY
