It seems as though Vince McMahon wants to enforce some discipline. In the recent past, WWE Superstars have substantially increased their presence on third-party platforms. That is certainly set to change from this point forward.
There will be some backlash from wrestlers and fans alike. We don’t know if WWE will release any kind of official statement. If and when it does, we will certainly get more facts about this new diktat.
