The Rock's Shocking Return Looms Over SummerSlam 2025's Main Event Drama
Earlier this year, The Rock's return at Elimination Chamber delivered one of 2025's most jaw-dropping moments, masterminding John Cena's shocking heel turn alongside the now-absent rapper Travis Scott. The alliance unraveled almost as quickly as it formed, with Scott reportedly having a major falling out with WWE after WrestleMania 41. High-profile plans involving the Houston-based rapper abruptly collapsed, resulting in his removal from WWE's gaming and TV projects. The vacuum left by Scott — and The Rock's subsequent absence — sent WWE scrambling, reshaping its creative trajectory and leaving the Cena storyline in limbo.

Why did Nick Lee, Amouranth's husband, call out QTCinderella over Streamer Royale event plans?
(Image via nickwicklee's 'x' Account) A conflict within the streaming world boiled over after a recent revelation made by Nick Lee. Popular streamer Kaitlyn "Amouranth" Siragusa's husband targeted QTCinderella, a fellow creator. The entire dispute centers around alleged behind-the-scenes interference that surrounds the ambitious 2022 event of Amouranth, titled Streamer Royale. As per Lee's explosive claims, QTCinderella sabotaged the project. But why? Here is all you need to know about the made claims and the dispute. Nick Lee targets QTCinderella, making explosive claims During one of the recent Kick streams, Lee did not hold back as he started to discuss issues related to QTCinderella. As per his claims, in 2022, just one week before Streamer Royale (Orlando-based production), QT contacted them, demanding that they stop using the production company that worked on Streamer Awards. Finding this request baffling, Nick says, 'It's not like she owns the company. It's not like we're doing even a similar show as her.' Nick even questioned why any streamer must have exclusive rights over the services of vendors, especially when the event formats (his being a physical gameshow while the other was just an awards ceremony) are totally different? Additionally, as per Nick, QT later allegedly threatened to cut ties with the production company if they did not comply. After the Amouranth team refused, Nick said QT pressured many high-profile streamers, including xQc, to withdraw from the event. As per his argument, this severely impacted their $700,000 production. How did QTCinderella allegedly influence streamers to drop out of the event? When Streamer Royale and Lee refused to drop the production company, at a time that was so close to the event, Lee alleged that QTCinderella had shifted her tactics. As per his claims, she actively worked behind the scenes.

As detailed by Nick, QT used her connections to disrupt Streamer Royale. One big blow to them was when xQc made a last-minute withdrawal from the event. Nick claims QT reached out to xQc to convince him not to attend. She even leveraged her personal relationships to create headaches for event organizers. In the words of Lee, 'She told Adept to get xQc not to go and so Adept got xQc… fighting with xQc about not going. So, finally xQc was like, I just can't.' He then explained, 'xQc not being a part of it really hurt cuz we were like, you know, headlining him and a lot of things and things like that, right? That really f**king hurt. Okay.' As per Nick's claims, the other streamers, including AustinShow, were also persuaded to back out. This left the event just scrambling. Further, as alleged by Lee, QT even directly pressured the production company, warning them that she would not hire them for future projects if they continued to work with the team of Amouranth. Ongoing threats and drama The entire conflict escalated as Lee shared all the disturbing claims that got relayed to him by their chosen production company. He said that, as he informed the production company about the demands of QTCinderella, they said that she did approach them directly. The ultimatum given to them was stark and clearly said, drop Streamer Royale as a client or lose Streamer Rewards business, in the following year. Lee made sure to characterize all these alleged actions as manipulative "high school Queen Bee drama." He contrasted the public image of QTCinderella to be 'above it all,' and that, as per him, was deeply entrenched and underhanded tactics. To put pressure on creators and vendors, as per his argument, reveals a different reality right beneath the surface. Lingering tensions and the TwitchCon spat As indicated by Lee, the fallout from the event was not an isolated incident. It fostered ongoing animosity. He even cited the example of subsequent Streamer Awards. As per his claims, Amouranth got sidelined. Despite all inquiries about her nominations within categories that she was previously included within, as per Lee, the relevant category was absent from the show that particular year. Amouranth's Husband DESTROYS QTCinderella Lee further recounted the later incident from TwitchCon that included meet-and-greets. As per Lee's description, QTCinderella was unwilling to communicate with Amouranth directly, and she used mutual acquaintance Maya to request that Amouranth stop streaming her booth activity. The reason for this was that there was potential audio overlap with the adjacent booth of QTCinderella and Maya. When Amouranth did not see the message right away, during such a busy event, Lee claimed, it led to indirect complaints. There were indirect communications over such minor issues with a simple potential solution, like getting to talk with Amouranth in person. Behind-the-scenes conflict has a lasting impact While Streamer Royale proceeded ultimately, Lee maintains that alleged interference hampered its potential. The financial investment with last-minute losses of some major talents created avoidable pressure. Lee's public airing of all these grievances years later shows how deeply all these events affected him. It highlights complex and quite often unseen rivalries that exist in the streaming industry's collaborative façade. The accusations further paint a picture of the alleged power plays as well as personal grudges that influence major business ventures, while leaving a cloud over all the professional relationships. As of now, while writing on to the entire incident, QT has not yet publicly responded to Nick's claims. Whether or not she addresses all accusations remains to be seen.
