10 Wrestlers Who Blamed Themselves For Failing In WWE

Controversy struck WWE in October 2019, as NXT wrestler Jordan Myles put his employers on blast for a new t-shirt design that, in his words, "screamed racism against African Americans," calling it a "slap in the face to EVERY African American performer, fan, and supporter." WWE countered with a statement claiming Myles had approved the shirt before it went on sale, though it was clear from the up-and-comer's continued social media activity that the relationship couldn't continue. Jordan was let go a month later.

Myles has since returned to the independent scene and reverted to his old ACH ring name, albeit on a light schedule. A recent interview with Submission Squad saw him open up on what went down in WWE, in which he said he wasn't going to take much of his comments back, but acknowledge he could have "said those things a bit more intelligently and calmly and came from a real place, not an angry place."

With regards to the aftermath, ACH said that while he didn't want to use mental health struggles as an excuse, he "broke down in front of the entire world."

"Truth be told, It's all my fault," he said. "I'll take the blame for this. I could have easily just put the phone down. I could have easily deleted my Twitter. I know I let a lot of people down. That hurts the most. I'm truly sorry."

Here's hoping he is a better place today than he was in October 2019. He's right, though: that shirt should never have made it to the internet.
