• Jordan Myles Says WWE Doesn’t Care About Black People & An Employee Lied To Him
WWE NXT wrestler Jordan Myles got very upset over the design of his WWE T-Shirt. You can check out the original design below:
WWE’s shop department quickly changed the design after this and you can check out the new design below:
Myles was offended and even called out Vince McMahon and Triple H over this. You can check out his tweets below:
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

Does it matter if the shirt was replace? The FACT that they even made the first one overshadows anything till WE get what we deserve. https://t.co/mLjKeUDNNt

WWE issued the following statement regarding this situation:
“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.”
This led to Myles tweeting the following:
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
