As you can see in the Tweets at the bottom of this post, Triple H and Vince McMahon were called out by NXT Superstar Jordan Myles over the weekend due to a racially insensitive t-shirt that was designed for him. While it's definitely understandable and justified, he's spent the weekend riling fans up and demanding changes in the company due to this apparent racism on their part.

Some fans have pointed out that the t-shirt was never sold and there's a different version on WWE Shop. Now, WWE themselves have weighed in on the matter and seemingly put him in his place.

"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."

Now, it sounds like Myles has decided to make a private matter with WWE public and while the company was definitely in the wrong to go with imagery which could be deemed offensive (something that may have escaped the designer's attention), he may have hurt his career by outing this in such a public forum. We'll just have to wait and see what the fallout is but stay tuned for details.
