AJ Styles has commented on WWE's upcoming seizure of talent's Twitch accounts.
âEverybody wants to know, âAre we going to have Twitch? Is Twitch gonna happen?â Iâm gonna be honest with you; I donât know. I donât know whatâs going to happen. I donât know what they expect from us when it comes to our channel. I donât know if itâs something that they go, âWell okay, listen. We just want you guys under, you know, an umbrella. Like a WWE Twitch, and hereâs whoâs under this. Hereâs what time they come on. If thatâs the case, thatâs great because fans would know where to find us. I donât know that thatâs going to happen.
I literally donât know, and unfortunately I found out a lot of stuff just like you guys, through the internet, which is a shame. Youâd think itâd be better than that. For guys who are on here trying to , not only work for WWE, but then do their own Twitch and stuff like that. Youâd think itâd be a lot easier for them to communicate with us and us alone instead of whoever it is behind the scenes, and them going and talking to Joe Blow and they having more information than us. Is anything set in stone? I donât think so. I think nothing is. I think itâs going to come down to communication.â
âWeâre not pro gamers, so weâre not making millions on Twitch. Thatâs not what is happening. I feel like for us, itâs an opportunity to do what we love. Play video games, interact with our fans, appreciate you guys appreciating us. Thatâs basically whatâs [going on]. And especially with whatâs going on right now, thereâs no , we donât get to see you guys anymore, unless youâre on the video screens in the ThunderDome. We donât get to see you, we donât get to talk to you, we donât get to do much of anything when it comes to seeing or at least talking to our fans. So this is the next best thing. I donât know what theyâre hoping to get out of this. The communication has not been as great as weâd like. And thereâs a lot of us, we are all on the same page, weâve talked with each other. Weâre all facing the same [thing], either doom and gloom or, âOh, thatâs all they want.â You know? I feel like this is an opportunity for me and my channel to say, âOkay listen, this is whatâs really going on,â and debunk some stupid rumors that are going on. And give you my opinion.â
