WWE selling LeBron's 'Ultimate Warrior' shirt in Cleveland Cavs colors

World Wrestling Entertainment is capitalizing on the Cleveland Cavaliers and a now viral t-shirt.

When LeBron James carried the NBA championship trophy off the plane when the team arrived back in Cleveland, he got in a bit of a shot with his 'Ultimate Warrior' t-shirt he was wearing. The Ultimate Warrior, real name Jim Hellwig, was a former WWF champion during the early 1990s. His character has become popular nostalgia after Hellwig's death in 2014.

The shirt James wore off the plane was thought to be a shot at the Golden State Warriors, who the Cavs defeated for the title. The shirt, made by vintage sports shirt company Homage, based out of Columbus, has now been updated and is featured for sale on both the WWE and Homage sites in Cavalier colors.

Homage.com has the shirt for sale for $32 and presents it with the following language: "Presenting THE tee responsible for the ultimate trolling in NBA history: Get all in on LeBron James' choice response to the Golden State Warriors following the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2016 championship-winning comeback. Kermit hat not included."

The exact shirt is for sale on shop.wwe.com, but doesn't mention the Cavaliers, only the legacy of Hellwig, who started with the company in 1987 and quickly becoming a star.
