WWE Releases Company Statement On Third Party Edict: “It Is Imperative For The Success Of Our Company To Protect Our Greatest Assets”

on

WWE issued the following press release addressing the recent restriction for their superstars to use third party apps like Cameo, TikTok, Twitch, and other social media platforms, a tool that much of their talent use to earn money aside from their contracts with the company.

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.
