In June 2020, tensions were at a high in America as riots and protests began after the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died shortly after Derek Chauvin, a white officer in Minneapolis, arrested him and pressed his knee on Floyd's neck for several minutes was caught on camera and posted online.
President Donald Trump addressed the nation following the protests, stating he was ready to deploy the military to enforce order inside the United States.
Following Trump's speech, former WWE superstar Jaxson Ryker tweeted his support for Trump, saying, "Thankful for the @POTUS we have! God bless America. Built of freedom. Forgotten No More."
He was promptly called out by the likes of Kevin Owens, Mustafa Ali, Batista, and more. Ryker and The Forgotten Sons (Steve Maclin & Westin Blake) were removed from television following the tweet. All three were eventually released with Ryker being the last to be released.
