Backstage Talk On Why WWE Is Filing A Lawsuit Against CM Punk

In regards to why WWE and Amann are firing back at Punk, Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter wrote the following on his message board:

“There’s a reason this all came out.

WWE lost round one to a guy they now believe beat them at their own game and they can’t say that so this is what they are doing.

When they settled, they thought he had them dead to rights. Now they think he outworked them and they don’t take that as well.

Thoughts about who wins the court case is missing the entire point. It’s never going to trial. It’s about revenge for them being worked into caving early. At least that’s their version. They have to use the doctor because they can’t sue.

But they absolutely believe they are in the right.”
