WWE Starts To Force Superstars To Suspend Twitch Channels
October 29, 2020The day has come where WWE is saying no more Twitch.
Over the last few months news has gotten out that WWE was looking to ban all contractually signed talent from any third-party revenue streams like Twitch and Cameo. at one point WWE told talent they had 30-days to cut ties with those platforms or action will be taken. Now almost one month after that WWE is starting to crack down on talent with Twitch accounts.
Today a number of WWE Superstars stated that today may be the last time they stream for a while as they have suspended activity of their Twitch channels. Some who have gone public about this today are AJ Styles, Mia Yim, Cesaro, Austin Creed, Brennan Williams, Zelina Vega and Aleister Black, and Paige. Styles and Yim both officially announced their channels were for sure being suspended.

On his Twitch stream, Aleister Black stated that they had not been contacted by the office yet but that a conversation was going to be had tomorrow at the television when the Smackdown talent all get together for tomorrow’s show.
Cesaro even talked about today’s stream possibly being his last and not knowing when he can stream next.
Aleister Black and Zelina Vega also spoke about not knowing what will happen with their channel and if they are done streaming after today.
If we hear anything further on this week possibly being the last week any WWE Talent can stream on Twitch for the foreseeable future, we will have it here and on the PWUnlimited YouTube Channel.
