WWE Asks to Dismiss MLW Lawsuit
WWE filed a motion this week to dismiss the current antitrust lawsuit filed in early 2022 by Court Bauer and Major League Wrestling.
WWE claims that MLW’s attempts to oppose WWE’s dismissal request lack truth and contradict themselves.
MLW claims that WWE interfered with the business dealings of MLW and other professional wrestling companies, resulting in potential loss of television rights fees and exposure.
WWE countered by referencing the substantial media rights fees negotiated by All Elite Wrestling and Women of Wrestling.

The hearing regarding WWE’s motion to dismiss is scheduled for June 15th.
