Several pro-wrestling stars have reacted to losing their legacy verification marks on Twitter.
A new policy went into place today for the popular social media app, which states that all previously verified accounts would be taken away and that anyone who wanted to be considered verified would have to pay for “Twitter Blue.” For those who are unaware, verification marks were used to determine if the account user was the real person rather than a fake/bot account.
Pro wrestlers from all across the industry are now flooding Twitter with statements following the new policy being put into place. This includes stars from WWE, AEW, IMPACT, etc. Check out some below.

So I apparently joined the long list of wrestlers who lost their blue check today, but I want to assure you all that it is me wrestling @JonMoxley this Saturday on #AEWRampage and not some imposter.

They’ve taken my blue check mark, so I replaced it with a new one. It’s this 🖕🏼Which sums up how I feel about this platform and those that run it lately. Good day to you all.
