• Vince McMahon & WWE Sued Over XFL

A WWE shareholder (a Oklahoma firefighters pension fund) has filed a lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon over the XFL.

Bloomberg Law is reporting the following regarding this lawsuit:

“The lawsuit, filed Dec. 26 in Delaware Chancery Court by an Oklahoma firefighters pension fund, claims there is ‘a credible basis to believe’ that McMahon and other WWE senior officers breached their duties to investors by diverting valuable resources to the XFL.

The suit also suggests that the company’s board members may have failed to conduct appropriate oversight to ensure McMahon didn’t engage in transactions that conflict with WWE’s interests.”
