Jey Uso breaks character to issue a real-life warning for fans.

Jey Uso has issued an urgent warning to his fans if they ever spot him in public. The former WWE World Champion is one of the hottest stars on the roster right now. We’ve seen him become insanely popular in the last two years.

However, it seems that the amount of popularity with the fans has seemingly cost him his privacy. Many fans always love to get a picture or interact with their favorite stars. But sometimes that interaction might become too much for the other.

It seems that Uso certainly had enough of it and took to his Instagram story to finally send a message. He broke his character to remind everyone that his privacy needs to be respected in public. The Yeet Master also added that he was poked by 38 strangers in a day and doesn’t want to be touched the same way again.

“IF U SEE ME in public shi. Please don’t walk up and poke me. Or touch me. How many strangers poke y’all a** in a day?? Bout 38 for me,” he wrote.

Jey Uso Was Poked By Fans After Survivor Series

Jey Uso had some fun at Survivor Series: Wargames this past week. Even though his team lost the match against their opponents, Uso had some big moments to showcase his charisma.

We saw him run his fan-favorite entrance back mid-match that popped the crowd. Everyone has to agree that the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion certainly knows how to get the fans on their feet, cheering for him.

Unfortunately, the aftermath of Survivor Series wasn’t that fun for him. Uso had to endure an unfortunate situation as he was recognized in public by fans. He then shared that during the interaction, he was poked many times in rather private places.

Many WWE Stars Have Issued Similar Statements About Privacy

Similar to Jey Uso, many other WWE stars have voiced out their concerns about fans getting too close. Rhea Ripley found herself in an unfortunate situation in Paris, where fans mobbed her as she tried to get into a car.

She would then urge the fans to please treat their favorite stars as human beings and respect their privacy. CM Punk has also sent out similar messages before, after facing similar experiences. It seems that fans need to take the hint now before someone snaps at them for invading their privacy and touching them unprompted.
