AEW’s caption to the video was another not-so-subtle dig at WWE’s way of doing things. WWE released several Superstars from their contracts in 2020 and many believed that an airtight contract with safety clauses could have prevented this from happening.
What is the third party ban?
As everyone knows, Vince McMahon made headlines towards the latter half of 2020 for banning Superstars from using third party platforms such as Twitch. Primarily, he wanted to protect the in-ring names of the pro-wrestlers as those are WWE’s assets. This caused a huge backlash from both Superstars and the audience.

“I’m passionate about what I’m doing. I want to be somewhere I enjoy and then I never got a conversation, I never got a conversation and then they offered me more money and then they offered me more money.
