After numerous delays in the case, it looks like tattoo artist Catherine Alexander will finally get her day in court after years of waiting when she brought forward a lawsuit against WWE, Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., 2K Games, Inc., 2K Sports, Inc., Visual Concepts Entertainment, Yuke’s Co., Ltd., and Yuke’s LA Inc.
The lawsuit was most recently set for trial on January 31, 2022, but had been postponed again because of a surge of the omicron coronavirus pandemic in this district.
According to court documents obtained by PWinsider.com, the lawsuit will go before The US District Court Southern District of Illinois on September 26th.
Alexander stated in the lawsuit that she performed the tattoo work on Randy Orton between 2003 and 2008. She believes they “are easily recognized by his fans and members of the public.”
WWE originally used her work for faux sleeves and was later portrayed in a video game, and she believes she should receive money from those consumer products.
