NXT’s Jordan Myles Blasts WWE Shirt As Racist
NXT’s Jordan Myles made a lot of noise over the weekend on social media and that continues today. Since Myles’ gimmick is about him smiling all the time, that is what a shirt produced by WWE resembles.
According to Myles, the shirt designed by WWE is a close representation of blackface. Hence, he went on Twitter and expressed his displeasure; while also tagging Vince McMahon and Triple H.
They’ll regret making this…#ForTheCulture ✊? pic.twitter.com/4beOuulN5b

I will keep posting this till my voice is heard. I’m not sorry for anything I say or do.
Representation is important.
If this is @VinceMcMahon & @TripleH “vision” of me then this is a slap in the face to EVERY African American performer, fan, and supporter. pic.twitter.com/S6Gtg9e4lP

WWE’s Official Statement
Albert Hardie Jr. (aka Jordan Myles) approved this t-shirt for sale. As always, we work collaboratively with all of our performers to develop logos and merchandise designs and get their input and approval before proceeding. This was the same process with Albert, and we responded swiftly once he later requested that the logo/t-shirt be redesigned. No t-shirts were sold.
I’ve used this shirt as fuel. I knew the shirt existed and my soul hasn’t been able to rest properly since I’ve laid eyes on it. My voice will be heard… my true opinion will be heard.. and MY PEOPLE will have their moment. https://t.co/uMErUAGr43

Jordan Myles Continues War Against WWE
He also spoke about informing WWE during the design process how he was uncomfortable. Basically, Myles is putting all the blame on WWE and even mentioned Hulk Hogan’s name.
THE WHOLE WWE SYSTEM IS FRAUD!
THEY CREATED THIS SYSTEM WHERE YOU CANT TRUST ANYONE, YOU GROW COLD, AND YOU GROW APART FROM WHAT YOU LOVE THE MOST!The fact that @HulkHogan is still employed after giving the locker room an apology for being caught says enough.#ForTheCulture

When I originally saw the design I was uncomfortable. Rather than addressing the issue I decided to counter offer with another.
Baker Landon lied to my face! He said HHH wanted this design so my hands were tied. I spoke with @TripleH in person and his impression was I approved https://t.co/JndOSasTGK

Myles signed with NXT in January of this year and recently won the NXT Breakout Tournament. He selected a title shot against Adam Cole, but came up short. Still, the performances impressed officials and Myles’ future seemed positive.
