NXT wrestler and former Ring of Honor star Jordan Myles (also known as ACH from his time on the independent scene) took to social media on Sunday to take a stand against WWE for their design of his first shirt. In a list of tweets Myles said he felt the shirt's design — using the letters in his name as teeth for a smile design — was racially insensitive.

Myles, real name Albert Christian Hardie Jr., signed a developmental contract with WWE back in February. Over the summer he competed in the NXT Breakout Tournament and defeated Boa, Angel Garza and Cameron Grimes to earn a shot at any championship of his choosing. He selected Adam Cole's NXT Championship, but came up short in a title match in September. He has not appeared on NXT television since.

"I will keep posting this till my voice is heard. I'm not sorry for anything I say or do. Representation is important," Myles said. "If this is @VinceMcMahon & @TripleH 'vision' of me then this is a slap in the face to EVERY African American performer, fan, and supporter."

Even though the shirt had already been pulled from WWE Shop, Myles would not relent.

"Does it matter if the shirt was replace? The FACT that they even made the first one overshadows anything till WE get what we deserve," Myles wrote in another response.

He also retweeted an image that bared a resemblance to the shirt's design.

Below is the card for this week's upcoming episode of NXT on the USA Network:

  • WWE Women's Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warrirors vs. Dakota Kai and Teagan Nox
  • Tyler Bate vs. Cameron Grimes
  • Io Shirai vs. Candie LeRae
