As PWMania.com previously reported, the WWE 2K Battlegrounds video game has a loading screen which shows the likeness of former Impact Wrestling champion Tessa Blanchard.
Basil Mahmud, the Impact Wrestling photographer who took the photo of Blanchard, has called out the makers of the game:

Hey @WWEgames you wanna tell me why you took my photo without my permission to use it in your game? https://t.co/xgGoFRzoUW

Wrong, fair use act is if you use the picture for explanation purposes. Not for art in a game that your make money off of.
