IMPACT Wrestling Banned From Twitch
IMPACT Wrestling has been banned from Twitch after getting too raunchy on Tuesday.
The Twitter account @StreamerBans noted the news on Wednesday night. No official reason was given, but IMPACT aired a segment with Rob Van Dam and Katie Forbes that featured whipped cream bikinis, thongs, and blurred nipples. This is the first ban for IMPACT. The duration of the ban is unknown.
Twitch has the following sexual content rule in place:
NUDITY, PORNOGRAPHY, AND OTHER SEXUAL CONTENT
Nudity and sexually explicit content or activities, such as pornography, sexual acts or intercourse, and sexual services, are prohibited.
Content or activities that threaten or promote sexual violence or exploitation are strictly prohibited and may be reported to law enforcement. Child exploitation will be reported to authorities via the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
Sexually suggestive content or activities are also prohibited, although they may be allowed in educational contexts or for pre-approved licensed content, in each case subject to additional restrictions.

IMPACT Wrestling has yet to comment on the ban. The show has aired as a simulcast on Twitch since the series moved to Pursuit in January 2019. Live specials also air on Twitch. The show will continue to air on AXS TV on Tuesdays.
