Johnson notes that one story making the rounds is that the WWE approached TNA Wrestling in regards to Wittenstein’s actions, which was a factor in WWE releasing Mr. Wittenstein from his contract with the company and that TNA Wrestling are requesting a temporary restraining order against Wittenstein or the WWE to prevent them from sharing information or approaching any talent. WWE and Wittenstein were issued that any material regardng the case that both had was to be returned to TNA Wrestling and not destroyed.
Meanwhile, in speaking to The Nashville City Paper, WWE’s spokesman Jerry McDevitt stated the following, “Our reaction is that no good deed ever goes unpunished. What the WWE did here is what you would hope any company would do in these circumstances it found itself in.”
A court hearing is scheduled for June 11th regarding the situation in Nashville, Tennessee.
