WWE has engaged the services of StreamEnforcement, a service that uses bots to scour the internet for live streams and identifies copyright strikes from content creators.

The use of the service resulted in a lot of content creators to be hit by copyright claims and takedown notices from WWE for their reaction videos etc.

The move comes somewhat as a surprise considering that the company has used content creators reaction videos in their broadcasts before and also invited several of them for the WrestleMania 42 stage unveiling in Las Vegas.

The takedowns come ahead of the Club WWE launch, an announcement which is expected today during Backlash.
