On the Highlight Reel on WWE Monday Night Raw this week, Chris Jericho made a controversial comment about the Usos being “back of the bus” guys. This seemed like a racially charged comments about segregation in the South.
However, it turns out to be something different.
the term was an inside reference to the guys on a wrestling trip who hang out at the back of the bus partying, where as the “front of the buys guys” go to bed earlier.
Just some confusion although Jericho probably should have known better.
Other wrestlers clarified what Jericho meant:
#WWE #RAW OK guys.The back of the bus bros comment by @IAmJericho means the guys that drink, play cards an stay up. Up front guys go to bed.
