<p>The current political scenario in the United States is highly volatile, and WWE isn&#8217;t safe from the situation unfolding in the country right now.</p>



<p>Several WWE stars like John Cena, Randy Orton, Triple H, etc. have spoken up on the issue, but Jaxon Ryker landed himself in troubled waters after his comments.</p>



<p>Ryker posted a controversial tweet a few weeks ago just hours after President Trump gave a controversial press conference and had peaceful protesters tear-gassed so he could stage a photo opportunity in front of a church in Washington, D.C. He was immediately called out by several individuals including former Universal Champion Kevin Owens.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thankful for the <a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@POTUS</a> we have! God bless America. Built of freedom. Forgotten No More</p>&mdash; Jaxson Ryker (@JaxsonRykerWWE) <a href="https://twitter.com/JaxsonRykerWWE/status/1267605081635110917?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 1, 2020</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>It seems like Ryker&#8217;s comments have led to a halt in the push for his stable, The Forgotten Sons, according to Sean Ross Sapp of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.patreon.com/fightful" target="_blank">Fightful Select</a>. It was reported that the trio was primed for a push before Ryker&#8217;s comments.</p>



<p>The tremendous backlash for the former Marine also saw his own team-mates, Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler call him out. It is rather unfortunate for the duo, who has to face the brunt of the comments made by their teammate.</p>



<p>The Forgotten Sons were in line for a feud against the New Day, but WWE has changed the plans, with Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro seemingly replacing the trio in the title feud.</p>



<p>This wasn&#8217;t a fireable offense by Ryker, but it will certainly not help his case backstage, as WWE has already issued a statement in support of #BlackLivesMatter.</p>
