Are you really surprised?

Vega is one of the more prominent Twitch streamers in WWE and on Friday, she sent out a tweet saying she supported unionization. The release came less than an hour later and I’m surprised it took that long.

At the end of the day, this could be the tip of a nasty iceberg, but at the same time it also shows why forming a union is going to be really difficult: WWE can drop someone at the drop of a hat. How many wrestlers do you think would be right there waiting to take Vega’s spot and become a star on WWE’s back? I’m not saying it can’t happen, but it’s an uphill climb starting in loose rocks. WWE is being rather extreme in the Twitch battle, but at the same time, until something changes, they’re going to be able to do almost whatever they want.
