ESPN Files Motion To Intervene In Class Action Lawsuit Against WWE Over PLE Access

As noted before, a new class action lawsuit was filed this past January against WWE and ESPN alleging that the two companies had committed deceptive marketing practices regarding issues involving WWE moving their Premium Live Events (PLEs) to ESPN’s new ESPN+ streaming service. These claims revolved around marketing from both WWE and ESPN telling all existing ESPN subscribers that they would have access to WWE PLEs for free when that was not the case for those with certain cable or streaming providers.

Post Wrestling and Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston reported that ESPN had filed a motion on Friday to intervene in the class action lawsuit against WWE.

In the motion, ESPN wants to compel arbitration to resolve the issue.

Thurston reported that the plaintiffs did not specifically name ESPN as a defendant in their class action lawsuit as a way to get around the arbitration clause in the subscriber agreement.
