WWE Denounces Former Star’s Saudi Testimony

WWE Denounces Former Star’s Saudi Testimony

A lot of buzz has been generated due to the recent testimony of a former WWE star. The testimony had to do with the incident in Saudi Arabia last year that saw wrestlers held in the country over a dispute between Vince McMahon and the Saudi government.

Now, the company is denouncing the testimony of this former star. In a statement made to Forbes, they had this to say:

“After the Court appointed a third firm to be lead counsel, WWE provided all three law firms with specific detailed facts from the persons with actual knowledge of the situation, including the phony allegation about the plane. The first two law firms then dropped their lawsuits to avoid sanction motions, but the third firm chose to ignore the specific facts they had been provided, and instead cited an unnamed disgruntled former wrestler with no knowledge of the facts. WWE is preparing its response to the lawsuit and will be moving to have it dismissed.”

During the incident, many of the stars were tweeting saying they would never return to the country. Some of their significant others also voiced their concerns.
