Report: WWE reaches deal to allow wrestlers back on Twitch

WWE Superstars will reportedly be back on Twitch shortly. 

According to a report from Fightful Select, WWE and the video game streaming platform reached a deal that will allow WWE talent to broadcast on the platform with “almost no restrictions.” However, one restriction that does exist is that WWE talent would need permission to bring performers from other companies onto their streams. 

Revenue earned will be split three ways between WWE, the talent, and Twitch with the talent and Twitch receiving the majority of what is generated. 

WWE banned its performers from using third-party platforms such as Cameo and Twitch in the fall of 2020. This led to a public spat between the company and Zelina Vega, who was released by WWE that November. She would eventually return in July 2021. 

A report from Fightful in April 2022 stated that WWE talent were informed they would soon be able to monetize content on third-party platforms again. However, it took until just recently for an agreement to be reached with Twitch.
