• Vince McMahon Expected To Release Jordan Myles, Fans Turn On Myles After Comment About Jay Lethal
As we all know by now, WWE NXT wrestler Jordan Myles didn’t like his NXT T-Shirt design and thought it was racist.
This led to him calling out Vince McMahon & Triple H. He even went on to say that WWE doesn’t care about black people (tap here for more details).
Myles made the following tweets about why he agreed to the T-Shirt design that he now thinks is racist:
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 also went on to take a shot at ROH & Jay Lethal:
His comment about Lethal resulted in a lot of fans turning against him. You can check it out below:
I was with you till you skewered Jay Lethal..way to bring up “the culture”, what a joke.

If @GoGoMyles didn't approve this shirt design, I'm with him. If he did, this is Jussie Smollett style race baiting and it sets us minorities back once again.
