Despite the recent edict from higher-ups at WWE, Paige says she will not be getting rid of her Twitch, however the branding on the channel will have to change.
At the beginning of a surprise stream on Saturday, September 5, 2020, former WWE Divas Champion Paige addressed the edict from Vince McMahon suggesting that talent needs to cease engagement with third-party platforms such as Twitch.
“The Anti-Diva” was quick to inform her followers that the channel would not be going anywhere but everything saying ‘Paige’ must be changed to say ‘Saraya,’ which is, of course, her real name. She also has a clothing and makeup brand that utilizes that name.
“Everything is going to change to ‘Saraya,’ my real name, but we are not getting rid of our Twitch, you guys. We are here to stay. We are here to stay you guys, we are not going anywhere. Twitch is our house. I am the queen of Twitch. There is no chance in hell we are getting rid of my stream. Leave Twitch? Na!”
Paige also claimed that that was the last time she would reference it and told moderators to start deleting the comments of anybody who mentioned the edict on her stream.
Paige was one of the first to switch her stream name to her real name as opposed to her WWE name. In the hours that followed, there have also been changes to Sasha Banks’ name on Cameo, where she is now ‘Mercedes Motivation.’
