Vince McMahon caused quite a stir last September when he banned WWE Superstars "from engaging with any third parties" for financial gain.
This sudden change in policy meant WWE Superstars could no longer earn supplementary income from platforms like Cameo - a popular celebrity video greeting service offering personalized messages to fans.
A number of WWE performers from both RAW and SmackDown had previously been much in demand on Cameo, with some able to generate a significant side income through the website.
Having seen its own revenue hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, WWE took note of some of the sums being brought in by Superstars and decided that it wanted a piece of the action.
Following McMahon's order, WWE revealed that it would be setting up its own presence on Cameo through which fans could book video messages from their favorite Superstars.
Under this new arrangement, WWE now reportedly receive the vast majority of the fee paid by customers, with the individual Superstar concerned then paid a percentage in accordance with their contract.
Since adopting this new stance on Cameo, though, WWE has not been particularly proactive in rolling out its official service.
Back in November last year, a limited run of just 30 Cameo requests were taken by the company for The Undertaker. Designed to help celebrate 'The Phenom' reaching 30 years as a WWE Superstar at Survivor Series 2020, all of the available slots sold out - despite their price tag of $1,000 each.
Now, $1,000 is obviously an exceptional sum for a short video and very few celebrities on the platform charge this sort of fee.
However, the biggest problem for WWE fans wanting a personalized Superstar video is not the cost involved. Rather, it is the fact that so few performers are actively available on the service.
While some WWE Superstars still have their own profiles on the Cameo platform, many of these are not currently taking bookings, with many only containing a 'Notify Me When Available' button.
With that said, there are a small number of active WWE Superstars who still appear to be accepting message requests. These profiles are active at the time of writing - although, of course, this could change without notice. The same is true of the fees that are listed here for each Superstar. These are quoted as a guide only and are also subject to change.
For those fans who want a birthday shout-out, a question answered, or even a simple hello from a WWE Superstar, here are five who are currently taking bookings on Cameo.
#5 WWE Superstar Jaxson Ryker is taking requests on Cameo
Formerly a member of the Forgotten Sons stable on both NXT and SmackDown, Jaxson Ryker recently made his return to WWE television. Joining the RAW brand in December, the WWE Superstar has struck up a partnership with Elias on Monday nights.
Ryker even picked up a victory over former World Champion Jeff Hardy last week on RAW, although he did have more than a bit of assistance from Elias!
The 38-year-old American is enjoying one of the most high-profile runs of his career and is available to take video requests on Cameo from fans. At a present cost of $50 per personalized video message, a Cameo booking of Ryker ranks as the most affordable entry in this article.
#4 WWE Superstar Mandy Rose can still be booked on Cameo
Currently appearing on RAW as part of a tag team with Dana Brooke, Mandy Rose has had a lot of focus placed upon her on WWE television over the last year.
The WWE Superstar's popularity with the wrestling audience skyrocketed in early 2020 when she became involved in a storyline romance with Otis on SmackDown. WWE fans were gripped by the relatable nature of the angle.
The pair had one of the feelgood moments of 2020 when they finally got together at WrestleMania 36. Their on-screen association was brought to an end when Mandy moved to RAW in September.
Alongside her new partner Dana Brooke, Mandy firmly has her sights set on the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, but will also enter the Royal Rumble match later this month.
Mandy is known for having a close bond with her fans, particularly through the Damandyz Donuts brand that she co-founded together with real-life best friend and fellow WWE Superstar Sonya Deville.
The opportunity for fans to interact with The Golden Goddess is still open for those who want a personalized message.
Per the Cameo website, Mandy Rose is available to record video greetings for a fee of $250.
#3 WWE Superstar and Former WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion Angelo Dawkins is available to book on Cameo
Angelo Dawkins has enjoyed a very successful last couple of years in WWE. Ever since debuting on RAW in July 2019, the WWE Superstar and his partner Montez Ford have been mainstays of the tag team division as The Street Profits.
One of only two teams to ever win the WWE Tag Team Championship Triple Crown, the Street Profits have enjoyed reigns as RAW, SmackDown and NXT titleholders.
Such was their success in 2020, Dawkins and Ford were selected as the Tag Team Of The Year at the Slammy Awards.
The new year has not got off to the best start for Dawkins, though, as The Street Profits recently lost their SmackDown Tag Team Titles to Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. A rematch will, no doubt, take place in the near future.
Away from the ring, Dawkins had some great news on a personal level last summer when he welcomed his first child into the world.
A new father, Dawkins will undoubtedly have a busy schedule. However, fans are now able to request a video greeting from the WWE Superstar on Cameo. These can be booked for a fee of $150, according to his profile page.
#2 Former WWE Superstar and WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is taking video message requests on Cameo
Of the many legends that have graced a WWE ring over the years, few have had the ability to captivate a crowd on the microphone like Ric Flair.
The 16-time World Champion is now available to lend his trademark style to your birthday greeting, good luck message, or many other requests on Cameo.
The Nature Boy recently returned to WWE television as part of RAW Legends Night. His appearance was not a one-off, though, as Flair has now developed an on-screen interest in WWE Superstar Lacey Evans - to the obvious disapproval of his daughter, Charlotte.
The two-time WWE Hall Of Famer is set to continue as a regular fixture on RAW - with reports suggesting he may take up a role as Evans' manager on Monday nights.
The fee for Ric Flair to record a personalized greeting on Cameo is around $500. To his credit, the legendary former WWE Superstar has previously been known to donate a portion of this fee to charity.
A true icon of professional wrestling, a personalized message from Ric Flair would certainly be something to treasure.
#1 Fans can book a video message from WWE Superstar and current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre on Cameo
One of the few Cameo offerings that WWE has actually promoted since its change in policy over the platform, WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre is currently advertised as being available to record personalized video messages for fans.
Reigning WWE Champion McIntyre can be booked, per Cameo, for a fee of $150.
It was revealed last week that The Scottish Warrior had unfortunately tested positive for COVID-19. Thankfully, recent reports regarding McIntyre appear encouraging - with the company seemingly hopeful that the WWE Superstar will be fit to return on next week's edition of RAW (January 25).
Assuming that McIntyre is cleared to do so, he is set to defend his WWE Championship against WCW icon Goldberg at the Royal Rumble. The bout has attracted plenty of negative reaction in some circles, but the meeting of two champions from very different eras will, nonetheless, provide a unique spectacle.
Fans who book a video message from McIntyre on Cameo will have a chance to ask him directly about his views on Goldberg, as well as on any other topic they might choose.
To have such direct access to communicate with the WWE Champion, however briefly, would have been unthinkable in previous generations. The Cameo service really does offer an unprecedented experience to fans who want to interact with their WWE Superstar heroes.
