It was announced on WWE Main Event tonight that Edge and Christian filed a “multi-million dollar lawsuit” against WWE after what happened on RAW. The announce team said that the two will appear on SmackDown to explain everything.
The announce team also said that they were contractually obligated to appear on Main Event.
This is clearly a shot at the ongoing UFC lawsuit.
WWE sent out the following press release Thursday morning:
