TNA files Lawsuit against WWE, WWE Responds

TNA filed a lawsuit in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday against WWE and former office worker for both companies, Brian Wittenstein, according to the Nashville City Paper website. TNA alleges that Wittenstein shared contractual information that he had gathered during his time with TNA (from 2008 to 2011) with WWE, where he worked briefly in 2012.“This wrongful disclosure and misappropriation allows WWE to effectively price TNA out of the market and cause irreparable harm to TNA’s business and profitability,” the lawsuit reads. “WWE now knows the confidential details of TNA’s business affairs including its marketing and business strategy and analysis, which leaves TNA vulnerable to WWE’s unfair position in the market. An injunction issued on Tuesday demands that WWE and Wittenstein return any confidential information he gathered during his three-year TNA employment.

WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt responded to the lawsuit. “Our reaction is that no good deed ever goes unpunished,” McDevitt told the Nashville City Paper. “What the WWE did here is what you would hope any company would do in these circumstances it found itself in.”
