Last night on Raw Chris Jericho made a comment about the “back of the bus boys” during The Highlight Reel segment with The Usos and The New Day. Some fans have blown the comment out of proportion and are accusing Chris Jericho of being a racist.
But The Usos, The Dudley Boyz and more are coming to Jericho’s defense on Twitter to explain that the “back of the bus boys” is an actual term the guys while they’re traveling on the road. It’s a reference to guys who stay up and party in the back of the bus.
You can see what the WWE Superstars are saying below.
