Yesterday, Jordan Myles tweeted about his displeasure with a t-shirt that WWE designed for him, calling it “a slap in the face to every African American performer, fan, and supporter.”
WWE then responded with this statement last night:
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.
And this morning, Myles responded on Twitter…
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

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

Myles also posted then deleted a short video of himself saying “WWE doesn’t care about black people,” then giving the finger.

Myles also deleted a tweet calling out Ring of Honor, and taking a shot at Jay Lethal. A photo of Lethal was originally attached in the deleted tweet below.
Fuck ROH TOO!
The only allowed ONE African American to be the “Top Guy” while guys like @CedricAlexander TD, @Malcolmvelli and myself had to chase this visible carrot a stick.
Name another African American who was reached great heights there other than this Uncle Tom: pic.twitter.com/bb3URXNtyc
