This is over exaggeration 101. Jordan Myles does one thing: he smiles. They even call him Jordan Smiles. His logo was a smile because he smiles. His shirt is black because 99.9% of WWE shirts are black.
"Oh but it should be obvious." No, no it's not. This was made when they had to design 100 shirts in a month, they slapped together a stupid logo and slapped it out, mind numbed from being creatively dried out
Hell, I know when I first saw it, I didn't think blackface, I just saw a shitty shirt

WWE has released a statement.

That ROH and Lethal comment was unnecessary..
He has every right to be mad though. Who gives a fuck if he smiles all the time?.. If the t-shirt even resembles racist Blackface at all, you get rid of it.
It really does show how ignorant WWE and a lot of wrestling fans are.. People take racism very seriously, especially the African American community.. They have a long history of being looked down upon by white people so it's a very touchy subject for them.
So that means if anything that might resemble something else that may offend someone, just get rid of it? Just because people are overly sensitive about things that doesn’t mean you just get rid of something and react. If we used that logic, we may have to get rid of everything, because I’m sure someone somewhere has a reason to be mad.
It doesn’t matter if it’s about racism, height, weight, sexism, etc. someone somewhere will always be offended, it happens. I don’t think WWE obviously intended this to be blackface at all, whether it resembles him or not, and they offered to get rid of it and asked him if the shirt was okay. If he has any issue, WWE was willing to correct it.
All his rants are is cries for attention now.
