No Summons Yet In Discrimination Lawsuit Filed By Former WWE Writer Britney Abrahams

Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, and other people within WWE creative are currently the target of a discrimination and retaliation lawsuit from former WWE writer Britney Abrahams, but according to court records, the defendants have yet to be served any kind of paperwork on the matter.

PWInsider is reporting that, based on court records as of May 2, no defendants have so far been served summons in the lawsuit. In layman's terms, neither the McMahons nor anyone else named in the lawsuit are under any obligation to appear in court until the service of said summons. According to the records, the lawsuit must be amended with "the name and addresses of all defendants included," or else the defendants will be unable to be properly served, which requires the summons delivered to the defendant in person, or to any person within the defendant's residence that is over the age of 13. The current defendants listed are WWE, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Chris Dunn, Ryan Callahan, Jen Peppermen, and Mike Heller. Peppermen and Callahan are both still on the WWE Creative team, with Callahan the current VP of "WWE SmackDown."

The report also states that many in the company were confused by the lawsuit, having never heard of Abrahams, as she worked for WWE under the pen name Onyx Espri.

News of the lawsuit broke at the end of last month, with Abrahams alleging that WWE fired her over her qualms with offensive pitches made in the writer's room, including one pitch by Callahan which would've suggested Saudi wrestler Mansoor was behind the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11th, 2001.
