WWE FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS, SEEKING TO PREVENT 'PROPRIETARY INFORMATION' FROM BEING RELEASED

WWE filed a lawsuit last week in Texas against the Attorney General of Texas, seeking to prevent what they claim is proprietary information regarding bidding that brought the 2023 Royal Rumble event to San Antonio's Alamodome.

Wrestlenomics.com has been seeking the documents, including material related to San Antonio's bids for the event via The Texas Information Act. 

WWE is arguing the material is proprietary and would release information that could assist WWE's competitors.

A sworn declaration from WWE Senior Vice President of Communications Chris Legentil is provided as an exhibit to the new complaint filed by WWE. Legentil says the bidding contract shouldn’t be released to Wrestlenomics.

“If this information was made publicly available and Brandon Thurston was permitted to publicize our financial information and negotiated terms on Wrestlenomics,” Legentil’s declaration states, “WWE would lose our bargaining power in negotiating all of our live events and much of the value of a bidding process for venues.”
