In an update on the recent WWE Network royalty lawsuit filed by former WWE and WCW superstar Marcus “Buff” Bagwell against the company, attorneys for Bagwell filed an amended class action complaint against the WWE, adding former WWE, WCW and ECW wrestler Scott “Raven” Levy to the lawsuit as a plaintiff, stating that Bagwell and Levy, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated, allege that they have not received contractually owed royalty payments from WWE for WCW-related content that has been sold or licensed through the WWE Network.

Bagwell and Levy also allege non-payment of all categories of royalties within 90 days, following the end of the fiscal quarter. In total, the Plaintiff’s allege that total claims of the individuals in the Class action lawsuit are in excess of $5 million in the aggregate and also, the total number of wrestlers in the proposed class is greater than 100.

Levy’s 2000’s-era contract was included in the most recent lawsuit, which includes the royalty term, other technology, including technology not yet created that is the source of contention for former WWE wrestlers who signed booking contracts with that clause, with the lawsuit noting that the company paid Levy a royalty for DVD sales of Paul Heyman’s recent home video release, but not royalties for airing the same product on the WWE Network, with the amended complaint in the U.S. District Court of Connecticut listing 15 items for relief and seeking a jury trial on behalf of Bagwell, Levy and other wrestlers similarly situated in the Class, if certified by the court. The attorneys filed a separate document motioning for the class to be certified by the court, with the document identifying the parameters and guidelines for wrestlers to be considered in the class along with Bagwell and Levy, who allege that they are owed royalties on WWE Network content.

WWE have until September 28th to respond to the amended complaint from Bagwell and Levy, as well as the latest motion to certify the class.
