Last year, Vince McMahon introduced a new rule of third party ban and that prevented wrestlers to make additional revenue through social media platforms like Twitch etc. It was also cost the AJ Styles to cancel his new podcast plans.
The Phenomenal AJ Styles recently appeared as special guest on A Couple In with Cody Jinks and discussed about last year’s Twitch Ban. Styles also revealed that he hoping to start a live podcast before Vince McMahon introduced the third party ban rule.
“Vince said we couldn’t do it anymore, which is understandable. We were taking his product and making money off of it when he’s paying us to do a job. I get it and understand it. There are certain things that played into it. I am a gamer, but as far as Twitch, I had to let it go by the wayside. I was hoping to branch out. I started off playing games on Mixer, which ended up being sold, and I went to Twitch. I was amazed at how huge the community was. It was great. By the time I got to Twitch, it was more or less me talking for two hours rather than playing games. I was literally hoping to do a live podcast. That was the direction I was hoping to go.” (H/T: Fightful)

Joke now guys. You’ll know his name at #WrestleMania when @TheGiantOmos makes a BIG debut and takes the #WWERaw tag team titles in a (wait for it) PHENOMENAL FIRST MATCH.
