According to a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, several WWE stars recently met with Vince McMahon. This comes after they publically suspended their Twitch accounts due to WWE’s edict about third-party apps.
Here is what Johnson wrote about the situation:
A number of WWE stars announced they have publicly suspended their Twitch accounts in the wake of several talents trying to change WWE Head Vince McMahon’s mind about the edict preventing talents from maintaining third-party relationships.
PWInsider.com is told that several talents recently met with McMahon in order to sit down with him to argue against the Twitch ban, but given that a number of high-profile talents, including AJ Styles, have announced they are suspending their Twitch streams overnight, it would not appear they were successful in swaying the WWE head.
Johnson also says that some believe that the new President of WWE, Nick Khan, is behind these changes:
Some WWE sources have pointed to the timing of new WWE President & Chief Revenue Officer Nick Khan, who came to the company from Hollywood powerhouse CAA in August, as likely being behind many of the recent changes, theorizing that Khan could be repositioning the company as an in-house management firm for all talents, resetting parameters so all third-party opportunities flow through WWE itself to maximize those opportunities.
