WWE's decision to take over Superstars' revenue-generating handles hasn't been received well
The latest development in regards to WWE taking over Superstars' social media accounts came recently, when it was reported that WWE will be taking control of all Superstar accounts over the course of the next four weeks. Also, WWE talent will be receiving a portion of the revenue their channel would make in the near future and henceforth.
The pro wrestling world didn't take this decision kindly, and WWE has been receiving tons of flak from former wrestlers as well as the WWE Universe for the same. Superstars like AJ Styles and Paige make a good amount of money via their Twitch channels. Paige recently opened up on this issue, and responded to a fan who stated that "WWE made her".

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
