Previously in 2020, WWE tried to restrict its wrestlers from using Twitch. This led to many Superstars putting their channels on pause or shutting them down. However, there was frustration among WWE Superstars and this became a reason for many to pursue opportunities somewhere else. This even caused WWE Superstar Zelina Vega to leave the company.
However, Sean Ross Sapp reported that back in 2022, WWE Superstars were told in a meeting that they will be allowed to use Twitch again but a new agreement wasn’t finalized until now.
