Vince McMahon is known for his quirks regarding specific words, and so is Roman Reigns, it appears. On the latest episode of SmackDown, Reigns seems to have banned a word without even appearing.

In the fallout of his successful title defense at Crown Jewel 2023, Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa were absent from SmackDown. LA Knight picked up a win against Grayson Waller and seems to be still targeting the Universal Championship, while Jimmy Uso is seemingly targeting LA Knight.

Jimmy Uso cut a promo before the main event of SmackDown to set up a rematch against LA Knight next week. He was on the phone with Reigns and said the word "yeet" before seemingly getting told off on call and then saying, "No yeet."

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

The comical timing was hilarious. As you may know, LA Knight defeated Jimmy Uso a few weeks ago in the build-up to his clash against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel.

As for the Vince McMahon comparisons, he was notoriously picky about using and banning certain words. "Wrestling" and "belt" are two examples of banned words that he hated.

He even changed the WWE Draft format for a couple of years by calling it the "Superstar Shake-Up" due to his fixation on certain words.

It looks like Jimmy Uso won't be saying "Yeet" anymore.
