WWE filed a suit in February, claiming breach of contract in regard to money owed to the company for licensing WWE Television to Interactive for Italian cable networks Sportitalia Channel and SI Live and for the rights to an Italian language version of the WWE website.
WWE alleged in the suit that they are owed $551,087.50 for television rights that are past due and $129,752.20 for website rights, plus interest. WWE has asked the State of Connecticut, where the lawsuit was filed, for a jury trial.
Interactive S.P.A. has yet to respond to the lawsuit, leading to WWE to request a default order on 8/24.
