As noted before, former AEW commentator Kevin Kelly and former AEW and ROH talents The Tate Twins (Brandon & Brent Tate), former The Boys, filed a defamation lawsuit this past September against AEW, AEW CEO Tony Khan, and AEW/ROH commentator Ian Riccaboni. This lawsuit was ruled this past June to be officially moved to private arbitration. Kelly and The Tate Twins had filed an appeal this past August to reverse the private arbitration decision.
Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston reported that the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued a ruling earlier today dismissing the appeal filed by Kelly and the Tate Twins.
In the court filing, the appellate judges ruled that because the case was stayed and is not dismissed, they can not officially review the decision by the lower court.
