MORE ON WWE VS. TNA LAWSUIT

As of this writing, neither WWE nor Brian Wittenstein have been officially served with the TNA lawsuit we wrote about earlier today.

Yesterday, a request for an expedited discovery in the case was filed by TNA. Earlier today, an affidavit signed by TNA CFO/COO Dean Broadhead regarding what he knew about the situation was filed as well.

The story making the rounds is that WWE approached TNA to inform them that Wittenstein was openly discussing his knowledge of when contracts were expiring and that it was a factor in WWE letting him go.

TNA is also requesting a temporary restraining order against Wittenstein and WWE, presumably to prevent them from sharing information or approaching talent. As noted earlier, a ruling was issued that any material WWE or Wittenstein had was to be returned to TNA and not destroyed.

TNA put up a $30,000 surety bond in order for the court to consider the injunction.

A hearing is scheduled for 6/11 in regard to the case in Nashville.
