WWE pulls John Cena t-shirt after a threat from a beer company that works with another pro wrestler

WWE has pulled a new John Cena t-shirt that appeared to be inspired by the Pabst Blue Ribbon logo. The beer company issued a tweet on Friday teasing “a chokehold called Cease & Desist.” WWE responded by removing the t-shirts from its online store.

Powell’s POV: PBR already has a working relationship with independent wrestler and promoter Arik Cannon, who is known as The Official PBR Pro Wrestler. You can check out his F1rst Wrestling independent event on June 18 in Minneapolis, Minnesota at First Avenue and follow him online at Twitter.com/arikcannon.
