After word that WWE had instituted a Twitch ban, fans worried about their beloved streamers, including Adam Cole.

Adam Cole recently spoke to Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful and amongst a variety of topics, Cole discussed what went on behind the scenes when he was informed that WWE would prefer he not continue his Twitch stream.

The prolific Twitch streamer Cole said of whether or not he was told to stop streaming:

“So yes and no is the best way I could put it, like it was in some ways mentioned to me about you know, Twitch maybe being a problem and then I kind of gave them my two cents, in the sense of you know, ‘I’m not using Adam Cole, I’m wearing video game T-shirts, I don’t curse on my streams,’ I was very, very careful thinking, if there is a seven-year-old WWE fan watching me play this game, I don’t want them to go, ‘oh my God, Adam Cole said what?’ you know. I was very, very careful that and I still institute that to this day, even with AEW. But what I kind of, in a lot of ways again, made it clear to this person, that Twitch was something that I really did not want to give up and was not willing to give up and fortunately for me, they kind of just let that slide, kind of just said, ‘OK , all right, we’re just gonna let it go,’ and then I manage to continue to stream on Twitch.”
