Jim Ross has commented on Kevin Kelly and The Tate Twins (Brandon and Brendan Tate) launching a lawsuit against AEW, AEW President Tony Khan, and announcer Ian Riccaboni.
@WrestlingNewsAV (The Wrestling News) first reported the news. The suit was filed on August 30 in the Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, Court of Common Pleas.
The suit is “seeking to void the arbitration clause of their talent contracts, as well as requesting the court certify a class-action suit against AEW over claims the company is misclassifying its wrestling talent as independent contractors, rather than employees.”

Ross said, “When you sign your contract, you agree to the terms. And that would include being an independent contractor. The Plaintiffs will run out of money before Tony Khan does. I don’t hold out much hope they’re going to get any kind of settlement whatsoever but maybe I’m wrong. I’m not a judge or a lawyer or anything along those lines.”
