Backstage reaction to WWE/Third Party controversy
Added 2020-09-05 23:05:58 +0000 UTCAs mentioned last night, while there were some outraged names in WWE, it wasn't unanimous. Some told us they understood that Cameo cut in to WWE's virtual meet and greets. However, in the initial language, WWE was very foggy about whether or not they were trying to prevent streaming, Cameo and the like outright, or just with their intellectual property. Fightful directly asked if this included real names, and didn't get an answer. Thus far, based on the wrestlers that we've spoken to, none plan on ceasing their Cameo or streaming setups. Two specifically noted that if WWE wants them to, they'll need their contracts renegotiated to compensate the limitations and changes.
