Jey Uso has taken to social media to address an issue that continues to affect WWE Superstars: fans touching them in public.
In an Instagram story posted Sunday, Uso wrote a direct message to fans asking them to respect his personal space.
IF U SEE ME in public shi Please don't walk up and poke me Or touch me," Uso wrote. "How many strangers poke yall ass in a day?? Bout 38 for me...
The message comes just one day after Paul Heyman made headlines when video surfaced of him pushing a young fan who rushed past security and put his hands on him while leaving Petco Park after Survivor Series: WarGames.
Both incidents highlight an ongoing issue in WWE regarding fan-performer boundaries. While most interactions are harmless, wrestlers have been advised to react defensively when someone breaches security perimeters, as it's impossible to determine the intent of a person approaching in an uncontrolled environment.
Notable fan incidents have occurred involving Seth Rollins, Bret Hart, and CM Punk in the past, leading to increased security awareness at WWE events.
Uso and Heyman both worked Survivor Series on Saturday night, where Uso teamed with brother Jimmy, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk in the Men's WarGames match against the team of Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar.
