PWInsider is reporting that Major League Wrestling is accusing WWE of contract tampering and MLW attorneys “engaged” WWE attorneys this past week.
MLW sources say this is not about Davey Boy Smith Jr. appearing on WWE’s The Bump this past week but it has to do with “multiple talents.”
MLW says they have an “abundance” of evidence that points to contract tampering by WWE but they are hoping that they don’t have to go to court.
WWE sources have downplayed MLW’s claims of tampering. MLW wrestler contracts prohibit them from talking with WWE but it would not be a surprise to hear of wrestlers reaching out through intermediaries as that has always been a thing in pro wrestling. It is not clear if that is the case here or if WWE has had direct talks with MLW wrestlers.
