Jordan Myles is not happy with the t-shirt that WWE designed for him, saying that “they’ll regret making this” and directly calling out Vince McMahon and Triple H.

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

Because THEY are blind and stuck in their ways. THEY don’t see the disrespect in producing a design that screams racism against African Americans. THEY have been blinded for years and THEY NEED A REPROGRAMMING BECAUSE THEY ARE IGNORANT!

The shirt is no longer being sold by WWE.
Myles also retweeted this post from someone saying, “Even back in 2016, I was afraid WWE would make ACH another black wrestler who just loves to ‘Have a good time & entertain.'” (ACH is the name Myles used before signing with WWE.)
I was fortunate to work at a gym where @GoGoMyles was a member. Seriously he's one of the kindest people one will meet. Even back in 2016, I was afraid @WWE would make ACH another black wrestler who just loved to "Have a good time & entertain.@WWE, DO BETTER!!! https://t.co/ZJdnxU3x74

Update (10/27): WWE released this statement to media in response:
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.
Update (10/28): Myles responded to WWE’s statement in a series of tweets.
