WrestleMania 42 Clips Pulled From Social Media After Copyright Strikes Hit Videos

WrestleMania 42 clips are suddenly disappearing from social media, and it appears a major crackdown may be underway targeting accounts that shared footage from the event.

Ringside News noticed the issue the day after WrestleMania 42 Saturday when several video clips embedded from Twitter/X were hit with copyright strikes. The affected posts were replaced with messages stating the media had been disabled following a report from the copyright owner.

Many of the clips that stopped working were tied directly to WrestleMania 42 moments that had circulated widely online while the show aired. What had been playable embeds quickly turned into blank players carrying copyright warnings, making it clear the footage had been flagged and removed.

The sudden wave of removals has sparked speculation that WWE and ESPN may be stepping in to limit the spread of WrestleMania footage across social platforms. With WrestleMania being one of the most protected broadcasts of the year, enforcement actions like this are not uncommon, but the speed and volume of removals have caught attention.

Ringside News and it’s staff observed multiple WrestleMania clips losing playback functionality within hours, suggesting this was not an isolated issue but part of a broader sweep targeting shared video content.

With WrestleMania 42 generating massive online engagement, this situation could continue to affect accounts posting match clips, entrances, or major moments from the show. Fans and publishers alike may need to be cautious when sharing televised content tied to the event.
