As many of you know WWE is making some changes regarding streaming. We will see what the future holds in that regard. With that being said I will be suspending the Stylesclash stream. This isn’t good to buy, but this is to see you sometime in the future. We will leave discord open, but since it won’t be monitored we will be making changes. Chris or I will let you know what that looks like once we figured it out. If you see me at arenas or wherever be sure to let me know you’re part of the phenomenal family. Again this isn’t the end it’s just a phase. Thank you again for your support.”
