WWE Shop Pulls Trick Williams’ Lemon Pepper Stepper Shirt

On Monday, WWE Shop released a new Trick Williams shirt based on his lemon pepper steppers.

The shirt had a photo of shoes with lemon pepper wings surrounding it. The release was met with immediate backlash, with fans accusing the design of being racist.

Less than 24 hours later, WWE pulled the shirt from its shop.

Original description:

“Whoop that trick! What? Whoop that trick! Yeah! Whoop that trick! Uh-huh! Whoop that trick! I like it. Show that you’re all about two-stepping in Lemon Pepper steppers and talking that talk by grabbing this Trick Williams Lemon Pepper Steppers T-Shirt. Featuring stylized Superstar graphics printed across the chest and back neck, this comfy cotton tee will have you feeling like you’re ready to step to the ring with all of Trick Williams’ confidence. The crew neck design provides a classic and comfortable fit, making this piece the perfect way to let the WWE Universe know that you’re ready to talk about it.”

Trick has not commented on the shirt.

This is not the first time WWE has been accused of releasing racist merchandise. In 2019, they released a shirt for Jordan Myles (ACH) with racist connotations. Myles called out WWE over the release of the shirt and left the company shortly after.
