After recent Law Enforcement probe, Vince McMahon and WWE in murky legal waters again?
WWE Executive Chairman Vince McMahon has found himself entangled in a whirlwind of legal challenges, including a lawsuit filed by Dana W. Miley, adding to his ongoing recovery from spinal surgery and the upcoming WWE-UFC merger. While the federal warrant and grand jury indictment serve as serious legal concerns, a peculiar lawsuit from Miley has also surfaced, making McMahon’s legal landscape even more intricate.
According to PWInsider, a lawsuit has been directed at both McMahon and WWE by Dana W. Miley, alleging breach of contract and failure to reimburse a $5.5 thousand down payment for a fan meet-up with Alexa Bliss, erroneously referred to as Alexia Bliss in the lawsuit. The lawsuit also claims that McMahon breached an agreement that would have seen Miley become a WWE employee with a substantial monthly salary of $70 thousand.
Vince McMahon and the WWE receives a bizarre handwritten lawsuit
During WWE’s second-quarter 2023 financial report submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company officially confirmed the unfolding events. The disclosure stated, “On July 17, 2023, federal law enforcement agents executed a search warrant and served a federal grand jury subpoena on Mr. McMahon. No charges have been brought in these investigations.” McMahon steadfastly maintains his innocence and denies any deliberate wrongdoing related to the matter.
Amidst these legal tumults, a new lawsuit, steeped in peculiarity, has emerged, with WWE and McMahon at its epicenter. Curiously, the lawsuit draws Alexa Bliss into its narrative. The lawsuit has been initiated by Dana W. Wiley, according to court documents obtained by PWInsider. Wiley’s legal action targets both Vince McMahon and WWE in the United States District Court of The Western District of Pennsylvania. The crux of Wiley’s complaint revolves around an alleged breach of contract and the failure to reimburse a $5,500 “down payment hangout, what app email contract to personal fan meet World Wrestling Entertainment employee Alexia (sic) Bliss,” which reportedly transpired on 6/30.
Miley’s lawsuit, handwritten and currently unserved to defendants, takes an even more bizarre turn by accusing McMahon and WWE of prejudice. Miley alleges that after his arrest in October 2022 for attempted homicide and aggravated assault, his phone and property were unlawfully seized during the arrest. Furthermore, he claims a conspiracy theory plot to suppress evidence, involving WWE employee Alexia Bliss sending email and text messages to him.
Adding to the surreal nature of the situation, this isn’t the first time Miley has taken legal action against WWE. In 2019, he filed a lawsuit alleging a fair use contract for rights to use the names D-X and NWO, names associated with wrestling groups before their formation in WWE and WCW. However, this lawsuit was ultimately dismissed.
This legal saga provides a bizarre twist in McMahon’s challenging times, where his legal troubles have taken unexpected and surreal dimensions. As McMahon navigates these intricate legal waters, his ongoing recovery from spinal surgery and the evolving landscape of WWE’s merger with UFC add further complexity to his plate.
