Yesterday Darren Young made some tweets (which have since been deleted) which criticized WWE for doing a tour in Abu Dhabi due to the fact that homosexuality is considered a crime there. He then went on to say that he feels like no one has his back:
I feel like no none has my back and it upsets me. The struggle is real. I'm human.

He’s been retweeting messages from many people supporting him on social media over the last 24 hours.
WWE issued the following statement yesterday in response to the criticism from Darren Young in regards to the tour.
Fred Rosser Statement
“WWE does not discriminate against individuals regardless of age, race, religion or sexual orientation, and we continue to proudly support Fred Rosser (aka WWE Superstar Darren Young) for being open about his sexuality.
“Unfortunately, WWE cannot change cultures and laws around the world, and thus we did not send Fred Rosser to the United Arab Emirates for our upcoming events for his own protection.
“WWE also fully supports Fred Rosser’s right to express his views on personal social media accounts rather than WWE’s corporate platforms.”
