Major League Wrestling and WWE are heading towards a big-money match in court thanks to a California judge’s recent ruling.
According to Sportico, United States District Judge from San Jose, California Edward Davila has ruled that a complaint filed by Major League Wrestling (Mlw) adequately revealed legitimate antitrust concerns over WWE’s handling of media rights and its status as a professional wrestling organization on television. Now, the case will head to discovery, which could potentially reveal insider information about the WWE’s economics and its handling of media rights.
According to Sportico, Mlw accuses WWE of owning 92% of all revenue generated by professional wrestling promotions from the sale of media rights and abusing its leverage as the biggest brand in the business to keep rival companies off the platforms that its shows appear on.

With Major League Wrestling making its debut tonight on Reelz, the ad-supported cable channel hopes to recreate the impossible. Launched in 2006 as Reelz Channel, then best known as home to Leonard Maltin’s “Maltin on Movies” and hosting the Visual Effects Society Awards, it went through many iterations — until recently, none terribly successful. A year ago, it ranked a dim 51 in cable primetime among its key demo for advertising, adults 25-54.
And then, a miracle. On July 22, 2022, Reelz premiered “On Patrol Live,” its revival of the format behind canceled A&e hit “Live P.D.” Today, Reelz is No. 19 and its year-to-year ratings rose a whopping 274 percent
“We thought it would do well… it just blew everything out of the water,” Steve Cheskin, SVP of programming at Reelz, told IndieWire. “And it’s pulling everything up with it.”
Wisely, Cheskin will not refer to “On Patrol Live” as the return of “Live P.D.” For starters,...
