Back in December 2023, WWE agreed to a financial settlement with Major League Wrestling to end an antitrust lawsuit. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but they have since been found out. According to F4WOnline.com, the TKO Group’s financial statement revealed that the settlement was for $20 million. A further form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission confirmed that the payment was the one to Major League Wrestling.

Opinion: This feels like something where WWE just gave Major League Wrestling a check to make the lawsuit go away and that is not a bad thing.
