#2. Hope isn't true: Still major backstage heat on Jaxson Ryker in WWE

If there's an example of how one tweet can stall and ruin careers, just look at the case of Jaxson Ryker in WWE. After posting a tweet in favor of former US President Donald Trump at the peak of the Black Lives Matter movement, he got so much heat from his peers that he, alongside Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake, were taken out of TV.

The Forgotten Sons had just debuted and were set for a high-profile feud against WWE Tag Team greats The New Day. However, the tweet saw them all taken out, and The Forgotten Sons as a trio were dissolved.

Recently, Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake returned as King Corbin's henchmen, and Jaxson Ryker was notably absent. According to Fightful Select, there is still major heat in WWE on Jaxson Ryker, to the point where he wasn't even at Orlando, nor was he on the internal WWE roster sheet:

“As if Friday wasn't indication enough, there's still heat on Jaxson Ryker within WWE. As we mentioned recently, Ryker had been home in North Carolina and hadn't been brought to Orlando to the site of WWE tapings in months. At one point, Ryker wasn't even featured on internal WWE roster sheets.”

We hope this isn't true because it seems like an extreme reaction to an ill-timed tweet. It seems pointless holding him back and keeping him on the roster without even utilizing him.
