Earlier this year, MLW filed an anti-trust lawsuit that alleges 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 in place, 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 a scheduled hearing for September 29th has been canceled by the US District Court, California Northern District (San Jose).
The court had been scheduled to hear arguments as to whether or not the case should be dismissed.
However, Judge Edward J Davila will still make a decision on whether the case should be dismissed, just without hearing any arguments. As of this writing, there’s no word yet on when the decision will be made.
