JBL took to Twitter on Wednesday, telling a story about when he and Ron Simmons were tagging in WWE and a writer tried to make their team about mixed race. According to JBL, Simmons shot it down. Bully Ray also chimed in, which you can see below:
A writer suggested one time in @WWE that we would make a big deal out of Ron and I being one of first mix raced teams in a major promotion. Ron killed it immediately-he said this is about best friends, not about race. It just didn’t matter to us. It never should. pic.twitter.com/DY4orXP9Ff

I never looked at Devon as a Black man.
Devon never looked at me as a White guy.
We looked at each other as brothers. 🤍🖤 pic.twitter.com/k9v4GNMtGf
