A storm of confusion has swept across Twitter/X, as countless users report receiving DMCA takedown notices targeting posts about former WWE star, Cora Jade. The twist? Many claim these copyright complaints are mistakenly issued.
The buzz began when users noticed that their seemingly innocent posts, featuring standard wrestling photos from Cora Jade's WWE days, were flagged for containing copyrighted material. This has left many scratching their heads and questioning the legitimacy of these claims.
One vocal user, @MeltzerSaidWhat, took to social media to directly address the swirling situation. They advised, "If you got a DMCA notice from Cora Jade, dispute it and file a counter-notice. Unless you posted photos from her OnlyFans, she cannot have random wrestling photos of herself removed that are owned by WWE or the individual photographer themselves. You can DM me if you need help."

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful also weighed in, suggesting that automated copyright protection services might be the culprits behind these overzealous DMCA claims. He pointed out the irony in these notices: "Hey wrestlers, when you hire copyright companies to protect your paywalled stuff, make sure they don’t flag the posts your publicist sent us. Most of them just use bots to do the work."
Diving deeper, it appears the notices stem from a third-party entity known as 'Content Armour.' They allegedly claimed that the flagged tweets contained content from Cora Jade’s OnlyFans, Instagram, or TikTok, even when these posts were originally sourced from legitimate outlets like TMZ.
Sapp's advice to fellow users was clear: "If you get one of these, dispute it if it wasn’t copyrighted." The situation underscores a growing concern in the wrestling and influencer communities, where automated bots frequently mistake public media for paywalled content, leading to unwarranted takedown requests.
So far, Cora Jade herself has remained silent on the issue. As fans and fellow wrestlers await further developments or official comments, the incident serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between protecting content and overreaching enforcement.
