The article specifies that the “vast majority” of the money will go to Twitch and the wrestlers, with WWE getting the smallest cut.

Long overdue, glad it's finally happening though.​

They just wanted a cut because their platform provided these people to have a following in the first place.

[Canadian Dragon]

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.

Lol fair enough, would be hilarious if someone just brought an AEW guy on their twitch with no warning or approval. Assuming it'll probably be approved in most cases anyway just cause Claudio and Cole are back on UUDD

WWE Superstars are officially headed back to Twitch.

A new report from Fightful Select notes that WWE and Twitch have reached a deal to allow WWE talents back on the streaming platform with almost no restrictions.

The revenue split will be done three-ways, with Twitch and the wrestlers taking the vast majority.

Regarding “almost” no restrictions, it was noted that WWE talents will not be allowed to stream with people from other wrestling companies, unless it’s cleared first.

WWE talent are said to be very happy about the new deal.

As noted back in April 2022, WWE notified wrestlers that they were once again able to expand their third-party platforms after having them restricted in the fall of 2020, which led to significant internal frustration. However, it has taken longer for WWE to work out a deal with Twitch, and that deal is now finalized.​

Feel like Cole, Joe, Cesaro will be auto approved given their past connections with the company and the respect they had etc. Everyone else definitely on a case by case basis, definitely if they hadn't worked there previously.

This is great news which means the talent gets to go back to doing twitch and earn money for themselves. This is a W for WWE this week.
