WWE's Legal Woes Continue with Antitrust Lawsuits from Rivals.
TL;DR Summary
A U.S. judge has rejected WWE's attempt to dismiss an antitrust lawsuit filed by smaller rival MLW Media, which accused the company of monopolizing the market for professional wrestling media rights. MLW alleged that WWE uses its dominance to keep rivals from accessing various distributors and arenas, and cited WWE's exclusive rights agreements with Fox and NBCUniversal. The judge said MLW had presented enough "circumstantial" evidence that WWE's activities "had a substantial effect in foreclosing competitors from the professional wrestling media rights market."
