The WWE has issued a cease and desist citation to Freelance Wrestling. The company was running a weekly show for donations to wrestlers who lost bookings over WrestleMania weekend, which had been cancelled. The show was labeled and promoted as “In Your Warehouse”. Due to the name similarities and logo style, the WWE felt it was too close to their “In Your House” pay-per-view acronym.

Looks like the crack legal team over at WWE sent out another cease and desist. This time to @FreelanceWres over their "In Our Warehouse" event.
Apparently that's going to hurt all their In Your House WWE Network views.
Petty af. Damn the man, save the empire.
