WWE NXT's Brooks Jensen Apologises For Wearing Ole Anderson Shirt

Brooks Jensen has apologised for wearing an Ole Anderson t-shirt on the March 12 edition of WWE NXT. Jensen unsuccessfully challenged Oba Femi for the NXT North American Championship on the show. 

Ole Anderson passed away on February 26, 2024 but the original member of the Four Horsemen has a documented history of using racial epithets. Allegations of racism have also been made against Anderson due to his treatment of black wrestlers, in particular Thunderbolt Patterson, Tony Atlas, and Teddy Long. 

After Jensen was accused of wearing the t-shirt of a "massive racist" by one X (FKA Twitter) user, the NXT talent apologised, tweeting: 

"Livin, learnin, and lovin - thanks guys.

"I will never support any racism, hate, or bullying. While I respected Ole for his wrestling it was news to me after wearing the tshirt that he was associated with these allegation's. Ive noticed my 'looks' and where I'm from are frequently stigmatized with the underbelly of our society (i.e racists) but this mullet just likes to give love and party. My apologies to anyone who knew the allegations prior and were offended by the shirt. I'm learning and this was noted."

The son of Bull Buchanan, Brooks Jensen has been a part of WWE since August 2021. He is a former NXT UK Tag Team Champion, having held the gold with former tag team partner Josh Briggs.
