NXT star Jordan Myles has taken to Twitter to publicly call out WWE for a new t-shirt design.
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.

Myles questioned the shirt’s representation of African American performers, fans and supporters. He followed up with:
I’ve used this shirt as fuel. I knew the shirt existed and my soul hasn’t been able to rest properly since I’ve laid eyes on it. My voice will be heard… my true opinion will be heard.. and MY PEOPLE will have their moment.

Needless to say, WWE did pull the design and replace it with a new one recently. Myles commented:
Does it matter if the shirt was replaced? The FACT that they even made the first one overshadows anything till WE get what we deserve.

Former WWE United States Champion MVP – among many other fans and fellow wrestlers – has offered Myles support.
Jordan Myles was featured on NXT prominently as part of the Breakout Tournament. He won the tournament final over Cameron Grimes to earn himself an NXT Championship match.
However, he lost said title match to defending champ Adam Cole, and has barely been seen since.
