It was recently reported that WWE has entered into a deal with Twitch to allow WWE superstars to stream on the platform.
Fightful Select reported that WWE has reached a deal with the video game platform to allow WWE talent to stream freely on the platform with little to no restrictions. However, if the superstars want to feature some other talent from another company or their own family members, they would need permission. In that case, revenue would be split between the individual, Twitch, and WWE.
Previously, WWE talents were not allowed to stream on any third-party platforms, including Twitch. However, things have changed now. It was also specified that Twitch and WWE talent will take away most of the revenue. WWE superstars who used to stream on Twitch are very happy with the deal.
In late 2020, WWE issued a ban on WWE superstars for streaming on third-party platforms. This caused great concern among WWE superstars who used to stream. Paige and Zelina Vega were the ones most affected by the ban, as they had a huge following on the streaming platform. Vega was even fired by WWE in 2020 for violating the company’s policy.
