Wrestling Inc. reports that O'Neil was originally facing a 90-day suspension for his actions but it was dropped to 60 days after fans called out the decision as "racist." "The suspension of Titus O'Neil had nothing to do with race and everything to do with unprofessional conduct," WWE said in an official statement. They added that Titus "acknowledged the gravity of his mistake" in a text message, writing: "I feel like s--t now so if you have to let me go, I understand. Stupid mistake."
Fans took to Twitter to give their two cents on the incident:
