During his livestream on Thursday, Cesaro signed off by saying that he doesn’t know when he’ll stream again and he’ll likely find out more news when the rest of us do.
Aleister Black and Zelina Vega also commented, saying they don’t know what’s going on with Twitch, but Thursday would be the last one for awhile. They also said they expected to find out more on Friday when there is a meeting with WWE officials.
WWE has cracked down on talent engaging on third-party platforms in recent months. Vince McMahon sent an email to talent in October that stipulated that WWE would be taking control of accounts at the end of the month. You can view the email by clicking here.
