Earlier this year, MLW filed an anti-trust lawsuit that alleges that WWE interfered with potential MLW deals with VICE TV and the Tubi streaming service.
In the lawsuit, MLW claimed they had a deal with Tubi, but WWE pressured them to drop it or they would pull SmackDown from FOX since FOX owns Tubi. MLW claimed WWE SVP Susan Levison called VICE executives to have the deal, reached in May to air archival footage, nixed because Vince McMahon was “pissed” about VICE airing MLW programming.
Pwinsider reported today that there has been no movement on the lawsuit. However, the US District Court of the Northern District of California will rule on WWE’s motion to dismiss on September 29.
