Last month, Jimmy Uso was arrested for DUI in Pensacola, Florida after allegedly running a red light at 50mph in a 30mph zone. Apparently, the SmackDown Superstar told the police he'd had "multiple" beers before getting behind the wheel, and his breath tests came back at .202 and .205...when the legal limit in Florida is .08.
A lot of fans were surprised Jimmy wasn't released, especially as this was the second time in two years it had happened (the jury found him "Not Guilty" on that first occasion, however).
Now, ahead of his Universal Championship match against John Cena at Saturday's SummerSlam PPV, Roman Reigns has weighed in. The Head of the Table made it clear to The New York Post that he doesn't "condone that kind of behaviour or decision-making," adding that it's "not a great light to be shining" on WWE.
"We’re all human, we’re all cynics, we all make mistakes," Reigns continued. "Instead of what some people might feel you should give up on somebody or maybe turn your back on that type of behaviour, that’s one way to do it. But I don’t think that’s the way to push through and gain experience or make progressive movements of becoming a better man or a better human."
"So for me, it was diving into it with great attention, great love and very thorough communication to make sure my family is continually bettering themselves and putting themselves in a position to make better decisions," he concluded, issuing more of a definitive statement on the matter than WWE has since it actually happened.
Jimmy has remained on television since his arrest, and it's been widely speculated that WWE is determined to keep him around so they can go ahead with that big WrestleMania match (rumoured to pit Reigns and one Uso against Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and another of the brothers).
We'll see what happens when the SmackDown Tag Team Champion's eventual court date rolls around.
