Paul Walter Hauser took a shot at Roman Reigns over his White House appearance, and wrestling fans wasted no time trying to make him regret it.
Reigns was front and center during UFC Freedom 250 at the White House, with TKO hyping up “The OTC” on social media. Roman reposted the moment with his usual one-finger emoji, but Hauser clearly wasn’t buying the flex. Hauser dragged Reigns for his limited WWE schedule and took a swipe at the whole “Acknowledge Me” routine.
“Is this where you are when you’re never wrestling? Why do guys like Darby Allin and Kenny Omega wrestle every single week, and yet, they don’t ask us to ‘acknowledge them’? Could it be that the work begets the acknowledgement? Enjoy the field trip, you actual dork.”
That was all it took for fans to start digging. One wrestling fan pulled up an old photo of Hauser posing with ROH founder Rob Feinstein and tried to use it as a receipt against him. The fan claimed the photo showed Hauser with Feinstein and pushed people to spread it around.
Hauser didn’t run from it. He made it clear he had no idea who the man was and said the photo happened because people ask famous people for pictures all the time. Hauser flipped the attack right back on the fan, accusing them of using racist language on their own page.
“I took a photo with a guy I don’t know, because I’m famous. You openly use the N word on your page. Still comparing morals?“
So what started as Hauser clowning Roman Reigns for taking a White House victory lap quickly turned into fans trying to dig up dirt on him. The problem for that fan is Hauser didn’t fold. He brushed off the photo, said he didn’t know the guy, and then dragged the fan’s own online history into the spotlight.
Roman’s White House moment has already been hit from multiple sides, with Conor McGregor asking “Who?” and Hauser calling him an “actual dork.” Now Hauser has another fight on his hands after fans tried to clap back and got dragged into the mud themselves.
