Ryan Nemeth filed lawsuit against AEW, Tony Khan, and CM Punk

[Chris]

Tony filing a countersuit?

 

[Comrade Khan]

He's so unlikeable now it's sad

 

[Chris]

Yeah he's handling it like a complete child, really sucks bc I was on his side up until I read the actual lawsuit, and it's not even like we're just getting the AEW side, all the info is from him. I imagine his lawyers in clown suits

 

[Barry Poppins]

If I was his lawyer I'd have dropped him a while ago, or before this happened advised him to shut the fuck up and let the legal process take it's course.

They wrote the lawsuit (I assume) so they seem just as delusional, no decent lawyer would have some of those lines in an official suit

Yeah Ryan seems like just a sad and delusional clown.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I'd actually want aew to clean up it's act if they did shit wrong too so it's just disappointing it went into clown shoes territory

Yeah, he's not even the first person with some pretty damning experiences with the new legal after Megha I think was her name, left? The brawl out one.

But this is the stuff that just gets humans to dig their heels in and support these legal people who might be shit at their job. Frivolous complaints constantly hinder actual change

 

[Jimmy King]

Off Broadway? More like off off off off off Broadway.

What a goober

I genuinely have such a huge desire to watch this now that I've seen the poster

Very well put.

It's been shit since the all out bs forced Megha out, company lost some compassion clearly . New guy seems a lil scummy , mb more focused on pr due to previous shit idk.

Hopefully things are or have got better since. Who knows

 

[Chris]

Yeah this is generalizing obviously but it feels like with Megha, there was an attempt to understand the complaint, with the new guy it's just to figure out the quickest way to shut them up

Which prob means he's a "better" lawyer which is sad. They need a better talent rep.

Almost like workers should unionize

I'll see myself out

Ryan Nemeth-AEW lawsuit moving to private arbitration

Ryan Nemeth's lawsuit against AEW will continue in private arbitration, according to his attorney.

www.postwrestling.com

Ryan Nemeth’s lawsuit against AEW will continue in private arbitration, according to Nemeth’s attorney.

Nemeth filed a complaint in February against the company he previously wrestled for, as well as its lead executive and owner, Tony Khan, and former AEW wrestler Phil Brooks (CM Punk). Nemeth alleges that Khan and Brooks conspired to blacklist him from the wrestling industry.

Nemeth submitted filings on Friday and Monday to voluntarily dismiss his lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court. Likewise, AEW filed on Monday to dismiss its petition in U.S. District Court in Florida, which aimed to compel Nemeth into arbitration.

Arbitration is a private process where disputes are resolved by a neutral third party, rather than in public court. AEW began petitioning the court last month, citing the arbitration clause in Nemeth’s talent contract that purportedly requires any disputes to be handled in arbitration.

Court filings don’t indicate the reason for the dismissal of the parties’ respective cases, but Nemeth’s attorney, Mike Caspino, confirmed to POST Wrestling the new filings are not the result of an out-of-court settlement.

“There has been no settlement,” Caspino informed us by email on Monday. “The parties have agreed to submit the matter to arbitration.”

A representative from AEW did not respond to a request for comment for this report.

Both Nemeth’s withdrawal of his lawsuit and AEW’s withdrawal of its petition were made without prejudice, meaning either party could choose to revive their claims in court at any time.

Nemeth’s lawsuit alleged that Khan blamed Nemeth for Brooks leaving AEW. The complaint claimed that Punk assaulted Nemeth in a confrontation in the locker room at an event. Nemeth asserted that he was not booked for AEW events afterward, until he was set to work at an event in North Carolina, where, according to the lawsuit, Punk spotted him at the hotel wrestlers were staying at and allegedly caused an AEW official to remove Nemeth from the venue soon after he arrived.

Nemeth has wrestled for TNA and independent wrestling companies since last working for AEW in November 2023.

Sounds like the outcome aew asked for as it's the area nemeth had legitimate issues
