Judge Allows WWE “Ring Boy” Plaintiffs to Remain Anonymous During Pre-Trial

Published

on

A federal judge in Maryland, James K. Bredar, has ruled that the plaintiffs in the ongoing lawsuit tied to WWE’s ring boy scandal may proceed under “John Doe” pseudonyms for the pre-trial period, denying motion by Vince and Linda McMahon to unmask them. The protection applies only until trial and could be revisited later; the defendants are already aware of the plaintiffs’ identities and the court noted the potential harm public disclosure could cause.

The lawsuit, filed in 2024, names Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, WWE and TKO as defendants and centers on allegations stemming from the 1980s–1990s ring boy scandal, including accusations against former ring announcer Mel Phillips and one claim against Pat Patterson, both now deceased. Eight plaintiffs argue that forcing them to reveal their identities would re-traumatize them by exposing abuse they have not disclosed to people in their lives, while WWE and TKO did not take a position on the anonymity issue.

wXw alleges TrillerTV has delayed payments since October, says company stopped responding

Published

on

AEW recently filed a lawsuit against TrillerTV over alleged overdue payments, and now Germany’s Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw) says it has experienced similar issues. wXw wrote under an Instagram post that TrillerTV has been delaying payments since last October and has stopped responding to their emails.

The claim adds to growing concern among promotions and talent about TrillerTV’s payment practices and business communications. With AEW pursuing legal action and wXw going public, pressure is mounting for TrillerTV to address outstanding obligations and provide clarity to its partners.

Ronda Rousey says her final WWE match was a “big middle finger” to fans

Published

on

Ronda Rousey, who departed WWE in 2023 and is slated to return to the cage against Gina Carano on May 16, reflected on her send-off match with Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam 2023. That bout, contested under MMA Rules, marked Rousey’s final WWE appearance and has continued to spark conversation among fans and pundits.

Speaking with ClutchPoints, Rousey framed the MMA Rules match as a deliberate, defiant statement — essentially a “big middle finger” to critics and anyone who doubted her direction. She suggested the unconventional finish and stipulation were chosen so she could leave on her own terms and control the narrative of her WWE exit.
