What Is Actually Going On With AEW Suing Ryan Nemeth Revealed

TNA Wrestling's Ryan Nemeth revealed on Tuesday, March 25 in his X/Twitter bio that he is being sued by a "literal billionaire" and was served only a few minutes before he was set to appear in a theatre production.

"Raise your hand if a literal billionaire sent someone to sue you 4 minutes before you walked onstage for your off-Broadway debut play this weekend," Nemeth wrote.

Nemeth was appearing in Cristi's Case Crackers - Street Fighting Knockout at the Hellenic Cultural Center in New York City. The venue seats 172 people.

PWInsider has reported that Ryan Nemeth was served with a summons on behalf of AEW and Tony Khan which stated he was being sued by All Elite Wrestling. While he is technically being sued, though, the summons to Nemeth is AEW's response to his original lawsuit to move the case to Duval County, Florida and compel arbitration. AEW filed their response to Nemeth's lawsuit on March 14.

AEW filed to move the case due to an arbitration clause in Nemeth's contract which stipulates any disputes are to be resolved in Duval County, Florida. AEW filed another motion on March 20, arguing Nemeth's talent contracts should be kept under seal as "irreparable harm" would be caused to the promotion if the contracts were accessible to AEW's competitors.

Ryan Nemeth filed a lawsuit on February 14 against AEW, Tony Khan, and CM Punk alleging assault, breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and intentional interference with prospective advantage.
