Streamer Marisa Claims WWE Had Her TikTok Clips Channel Banned, Then Featured Her Footage in Night of Champions Recap

A content creator who goes by Marisa is speaking out about what she describes as a frustrating contradiction from WWE: the company reportedly had her TikTok clips channel taken down, yet turned around and used footage from that same channel in an on-air recap segment.

The Monday Night Raw following Night of Champions opened, as is customary, with a highlight package from the Saudi Arabia pay-per-view. As part of that package, WWE incorporated streamer reaction clips — a format the company has leaned into increasingly as a way to amplify big moments and draw in younger audiences. According to Marisa, one of those reaction clips was hers — pulled from the very channel WWE had previously targeted for removal.

The situation puts a spotlight on a tension that has grown louder in the online wrestling community: WWE aggressively enforces its intellectual property rights against fan and reaction content creators, issuing strikes and takedown requests that can result in channel bans, while simultaneously leveraging those same creators’ reactions for promotional purposes when it suits them. For a streamer who lost a channel to WWE’s enforcement actions, seeing her own face in a WWE broadcast is understandably a bitter pill.

Marisa has gone public with her frustration, and the story is resonating with other content creators who have found themselves on the wrong end of WWE’s DMCA enforcement. Whether WWE responds or addresses the apparent double standard remains to be seen, but the optics of banning a creator’s channel and then broadcasting her reaction to a national audience are difficult to ignore.
