WWE reaches new deal with Twitch

There’s some great news if you miss WWE wrestlers streaming on Twitch, it’s picking up in a big way.

Fightful Select has learned that WWE and Twitch reached an agreement to allow WWE wrestlers back on twitch with almost no restrictions. Those we spoke to said that the revenue will be a three-way split that Twitch and the talent take the vast majority of.

“Almost” no restrictions was outlined to us as not permitting talent to stream with people from other companies unless it’s cleared first.

Talent that we spoke to were very happy about the deal.

In April of 2022, there was a talent meeting that was held to notify wrestlers that they’d have the opportunity to expand their third party platforms again. However, it took longer for WWE to work out a deal with Twitch, which we are told has been finalized.

In the fall of 2020, a decree was made to eliminate numerous third party deals and platforms for talent. This led to frustration across the roster, with many citing it as a contributing factor to their desire to perform elsewhere.

"SINGLE DIGITS"; literally means it can't be more then 9.99%

Troy A Palek

It's nowhere near 50. It's closer to 5.

Fightful Select

again why would sean lie , it's literally in the report that twitch and talent get a vast majority of the revenue , you're just trying to to twist the narrative in your favor to fit your agenda. stop being paranoid it's okay to admit when wwe does a good thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ryan Martins

ah yes, and I totally believe wwe is going to settle for crumbs after the stink they raised about streaming the first time. They have agreements in place with twitch now, We'll never see the revenue split.

Masterojack

It is really quite insane , like why would sean lie in his own report about that?? people are quite dumb and obviously can't read..

Ryan Martins

This is proof that, no matter how clear and straight forward the report might be, the haters would much rather come to their own conclusions to fit their agenda LOL

I'll take that bet considering its written CLEARLY in the article that they aren't.

Troy A Palek

The report literally says the opposite.

Joseph Cloud

who wants to bet the E gets like 50% cuts of all donos and subs

Masterojack

I hope the wrestlers get a decent amount. The few Twitch streamers I follow say that Twitch takes nearly half of their income already. Add to that WWE's cut and I wonder if it's still worth it

Allyssa Golden

I assume the streaming with people from other companies is about Da Party, Rhea, Zelina, and Mia. Possibly Bayley with Mercedes?

Matthew Bamford

Very happy with this news.

Bounty Hunter Lani

The talent get majority of the cut so its not as greedy and you might think

Jeffrey Pollard

Kind of annoying that they feel like they need to get a cut of EVERYTHING people who aren't even their employees do.

Matthew

The fact WWE takes anything is greed

Marshall Enloe

As Sean mentioned in the article (and in the comment section), Twitch, WWE and the talent will have a three-way spilt over revenue with Twitch and WWE talent getting the most amount and WWE getting a small amount.

Juan Ortiz

a very small amount

Fightful Select

It's a negligible amount

Fightful Select

Not really, the WWE will take a cut

Marshall Enloe

That is pretty damn good news honestly!!!!!

Juan Ortiz

This is great for the talent and the fans. But this could also be what corporations do at the beginning of new ownership/merge and that's to get as much good pr out beforehand.

For a period of time people on the main roster were not permitted to stream at all, even under their real name or another alias. Even though she was in NXT- Dakota Kai also stopped streaming at that point, possibly in solidarity with Mia Yim who had not been permitted to stream even under the name itsMeSYB (her real human government name initials) Dakota Kai has always just been Charliegirl, she streamed when she was still working out of Australia.

TorchCrawler

With this deal they’ll be able to get a lot more traction online through it than if they just decided to stream independently. Being as Dakota Kai has been streaming this whole time under a different name I would imagine others could have done that too, if they wanted.

Jaryd Cornwell

Better than nothing and ofc turn a positive to a negative

Leo Chirichiello

Me too man. They really helped me through the pandemic, and it's been AWESOME to see them back together.

Connor Augenstein

Really hope so, I don't want to have to see those guys need to quit again.

P1eces

Hope that means Da Party is here to stay.

P1eces

Love the fact the talent are suppose to be grateful they can steam lol. It’s a joke that they even take a cut of the revenue.

Francis

But WWE still gets split

CHRIS JOHNSON

AJ Styles the happiest guy in the room

Geo

Is it safe to assume DaParty had everything cleared before they started streaming together again?
