WWE Issued A Statement On The Jordan Myles T-Shirt Controversy, And Myles Answered It

Yesterday we posted about the controversy over a discontinued T-shirt that WWE designed for NXT Superstar Jordan Myles. Myles called out the T-shirt and WWE as an organization for being racist against black people, and lots of folks on Twitter supported him. Late last night, WWE released a statement that was the opposite of an apology, and Myles has since responded.

Here’s WWE’s full 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.

Myles responded by tweeting about his interactions regarding the shirt with WWE employee Baker Landon, as well as Triple H himself.

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

He even included a screenshot of an email from Landon:

His rhetoric only gets more direct from there, as he continues to tweet about the topic.

The fact that @HulkHogan is still employed after giving the locker room an apology for being caught says enough.#ForTheCulture

He also tweeted this video, but then deleted it:
