Not only will WWE Superstars be allowed to stream on Twitch again, but doing so won't cost them a penny in revenue.
In late 2020, WWE cracked down on third-party deals, resulting in several Superstars having to quit streaming and sponsorships.
After Zelina Vega expressed support for unionization, the Superstar was released minutes later but was rehired by WWE in July 2021.
Earlier this week, it was announced that WWE has rescinded their ban on Superstars streaming on Twitch, effective immediately.
It was reported shortly after that revenue will be split between Twitch, WWE, and the Superstar themselves, with WWE taking the least.
Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live reports that the cut that WWE will be taking will come from Twitch's slice of the revenue, not the Superstar's.
Alvarez added that the cut for wrestlers will be "the same as anyone else with a Twitch channel."
There have been no precise percentages as to how much each side will take, though WWE's cut will reportedly be in the single digits.
Not only will this new Twitch policy not cost the Superstars, but WWE management worked to ensure the best deal for the roster.
In a tweet, Andrew Zarian reports that WWE negotiated the best possible offer for the Superstars, who will benefit greatly from this "talent-friendly deal."
Zelina Vega has already hosted her first stream as a WWE Superstar in over two years, and has said she nearly cried with happiness after it concluded.
