WWE Plaintiffs Claim Company Can’t Be Trusted To Preserve Evidence In ESPN Lawsuit

TLDR

Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit over WWE Premium Live Events moving to ESPN streaming are opposing WWE's attempt to pause discovery by citing evidence preservation issues from a separate Delaware merger lawsuit. The plaintiffs referenced a recent court ruling against Nick Khan for destroyed evidence in the WWE-UFC merger litigation, arguing that WWE cannot be trusted to preserve evidence while the ESPN streaming case is on hold. WWE has been trying to move the ESPN streaming lawsuit to arbitration, claiming the case should be covered by Disney and ESPN's arbitration terms.
