    Apparently it's been said that the contributing factor was an Instagram Ad that Lana did for Bang Energy Drinks.

    Paige stands to lose about 10k a week from her Twitch stream.

    Some of the talent probably make more from 3rd party stuff than they do from Vince.

    A quick Google say her basic annual salary is 250k for she would earn double that from Twitch alone, Not adding in any of the other 3rd party stuff she does.

    Main roster female talent other than Becky and Charlotte who have basic of a million plus earn 100k to 350k basic a year.

    The wwe statement regarding this whole issue was as tone deaf as you can be. Jesus Vince is so out of touch.

    I noticed people who are not wrestlers speaking out against it like Maria Kanellis, Kevin Nash, and Mick Foley. Perhaps something good might come of it if these people drawing attention to the matter and force WWE to reconsider. Probably doubtful WWE would listen, but does WWE really want bad press from this?

    Vince will create his own Caneo and Twitch. And take his cut

    There's money to be made in gaming.

    What's the deal with Creed's channel, is it WWE owned, or does he just licence it to the company?

    To be fair, Meltzer may be right and Miro, Lana may just be obvlious.

    I reckon its the AJ thing myself though.

    Lana has been flaunting it for years without issue, why would they care now?

    I agree on it being AJ. Him casually chatting about Covid and backstage politics will worry them far more than Lana in a bikini.

    Only way I feel they’d care more about Lana thing is if they have an energy drink sponsor who reached out complaining

    Look like the WWE have backed down a bit Superstars can continue to use their Twitch and YouTube accounts however they can't use WWE trademarked names they must use their real names.

    Still no clarity on other social media accounts.
    "Much like Disney and Warner Bros., WWE creates, promotes and invests in its intellectual property, i.e. the stage names of performers like The Fiend Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns, Big E and Braun Strowman. It is the control and exploitation of these characters that allows WWE to drive revenue, which in turn enables the company to compensate performers at the highest levels in the sports entertainment industry. Notwithstanding the contractual language, it is imperative for the success of our company to protect our greatest assets and establish partnerships with third parties on a companywide basis, rather than at the individual level, which as a result will provide more value for all involved."

    Can't stand Nia but she's bang on calling WWE out on their airbrushing and facetuning...

    It's not like it's women exclusive either. The likes of Brock and Drew get touched up to laughable levels also.

    Austin Creed was very smart about how he set up his social media, and his YouTube. Any time a wrestler came on, he made them choose a nickname. No WWE trademarked wrestling names.

    NXT's stalker is in jail and still contacting the WWE they sent the court a letter he sent them.


    Part of me thinks tangles like the Retribution one will enable these nutjobs even more to think they can stalk and attack WWE talent.
