A massive Twitch leak has allegedly unveiled the payouts of streamers, including WWE and AEW stars.
4Chan (via VICE)Â has been the home of many leaks over the years and this time, an anonymous poster shared 135GB of data revealing the payouts of popular Twitch streamers. Someone uploaded the pay wrestling streamers received on the platform, which has since been deleted on Pastebin. Fear not, we’ve got the totals here.
Several streamers confirmed on Twitter that their data inside the leak is accurate. Jason Koebler of VICE also says the figures appear legitimate, based on internal knowledge of what their own channel earns.
How Much Do Wrestlers Make From Twitch?
The following is the Twitch revenue data for the largest wrestling-related accounts for September 2019 through September 2021.
Keep in mind, these payouts are from subscriptions and bits. They do not include donations, which is a huge chunk of pay for streamers on Twitch typically.
- Paige (@SarayaOfficial) – $478,224
- Zelina Vega (@theatrinidad) – $341,748
- Adam Cole (@TheCHUGS) – $318,080
- Impact Wrestling (@impactwrestling) – $69,140
- Tyler Breeze (@thesweetzlive) – $43,755
- Evil Uno (@eviluno) – $35,742
- Colt Cabana (@coltcabana) – $32,479
- Xavier Woods (@AustinCreed) – $25,431
As you can tell, there’s a substantial amount of money to be made on Twitch for these wrestlers. WWE has a policy in place that prevents its talent from streaming on Twitch. Paige is an exception as the rule isn’t a part of her deal and she isn’t an active wrestler.
Zelina Vega had been released by WWE over the issue of not being able to stream. She eventually ended up signing with the company again. Vega’s husband, Malakai Black, had been taking over the channel but there hasn’t been a new stream for the past month.
WWE made a strong push to re-sign Adam Cole before he decided to jump ship to AEW. Adam Cole’s wish to keep his independent Twitch channel was said to be a non-negotiable stipulation during those negotiations.
