Alexa Bliss, Nikki Cross and Others Say They Will Not Pay For Twitter Blue, NJPW Issues Statement

Twitter has begun to remove blue checks for everyone, including celebrities, and several wrestlers have said they will not pay for Twitter Blue. These include Alexa Bliss, who noted that Twitter removing her verification means fans are more likely to be scammed by fake accounts.

She wrote: “@Twitter – YOU are now responsible for Paying back the people who get scammed by a “verified” Alexa bliss accounts … this one’s on you now. #DumbestThhngEver You don’t know what we go through. Obviously you haven’t had your safety in jeopardy because of scammers. People showing up @ your work or threatening you bc an acct on twitter was scamming them pretending to be you. Sit down and enjoy your check mark.”

Nikki Cross added: “I will NOT be signing up for twitter blue so if you see @wwenikkicross with a blue tick, it is not me.”

New Japan Pro Wrestling also issued a statement to list their official accounts:

Thank you for supporting New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

Lost my verification alongside everyone, so I’m gonna do this ONCE. I will ONLY communicate on THIS twitter account, IG/FB/YT = qosbaszler Twitch = QoSpades. That’s IT. I don’t have Telegram/WhatsApp/GoogleWhateverthefuck/etc. I have no “private” email for fans.

The only social media I run is this account, @char1ie_gir1 , charliegirl (twitch), @/ imkingkota (insta) and @/ char1iegir1 (tik tok).

I don’t have any“private” accounts. I will never and have never asked for money or anything of the sort. They are scammers, please be weary 🤍
