Earlier today MLW revealed that it has filed an antitrust lawsuit against WWE, and in that initial release MLW’s lawsuit alleges that WWE interfered and pressured third parties to abandon contracts and abandon relationships with MLW, including a streaming deal with Tubi. MLW says that deal would have been a huge deal for the company, and the lawsuit alleges that the person that contacted a Tubi executive about that deal was WWE’s Stephanie McMahon. The lawsuit alleges that McMahon called a Tubi executive once WWE got word of the upcoming deal and asked that they deny MLW a time slot, and then later pressured the Tubi executive and Fox executives to stop the agreement altogether.
