During a post-Battle Riot IV media scrum, I asked MLW CEO Court Bauer whether MLW had been approached about settling their lawsuit with WWE in the wake of the allegations and investigation into Vince McMahon, as McMahon and Oliver Luck have settled their lawsuit related to the XFL.
Bauer stated, "No comment. I can't comment on pending legal other than we are looking forward to our day in court and as we go through this process, I continue to be increasingly optimistic that when we get to court, it's going to be favoring, uh, Court."
The 19-page lawsuit filed by MLW this past January alleged intentional interference with contractual relations, intentional interference with prospective economic relations, a violation of the Sherman Antitrust act and more, including allegations that WWE interference caused the cancellation of a signed MLW deal with FOX-owned streaming platform Tubi and prevented ViceTV from coming to terms with MLW, each preventing MLW from acquiring revenue that would have come from those deals.
WWE has argued back against those allegations and the two sides are currently waiting for a court ruling on where thing stand in the advancement of the lawsuit.
