Alexa Bliss is the subject of a lawsuit aimed at WWE by an individual with a history of litigation with the promotion.
WWE has dealt with its fair share of lawsuits over the years, with Jerry McDevitt fighting WWE's battles against everyone from shareholders, to other promotions to tattoo artists. Bliss is currently out of action as she and her husband Ryan Cabrera are awaiting the birth of their first child.
In documents obtained by PW Insider, it is disclosed that Dana Wiley is suing WWE over an alleged meet-up with the former Raw and SmackDown Women's Champion. The suit alleges breach of contract and failure to reimburse a $5,500 “down payment for a meet-up arranged via email correspondence, to personally meet World Wrestling Entertainment employee Alexa Bliss” on June 30.
The handwritten lawsuit also contends that WWE’s Executive Chairman Vince McMahon breached an agreement with Wiley, where Wiley was to assume a role as a WWE employee with a monthly salary of $70,000. Wiley is seeking compensation amounting to $6 million, aiming to cover the breach of contract and the reimbursement of all legal expenses.
This is hardly the first time Wiley has filed litigation against WWE. He has previously sued Vince McMahon, members of D-Generation X, and the NWO, claiming that he had signed a fair use contract for those groups’ trademarks which McMahon and the others did not acknowledge.
Wiley claimed he signed the contract on the steps of a New Castle, Pennsylvania, courthouse after being sentenced “in an unrelated criminal case.” He also claimed that he signed this contract in 1995, a year prior to the NWO debuting in WCW and two years before Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Rick Rude & Chyna would form DX. The lawsuit was later dismissed.
