AEW claims that Ryan Nemeth has misrepresented and misled them through his conduct in voluntarily dismissing his lawsuit filed in February 2025 against the company by agreeing to take the matter to private arbitration.
AEW filed a petition on June 5th in the U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Florida to compel Nemeth to arbitrate the dispute at a JAMS administrative office nearest to Duval County, Florida, and be adjudicated under Florida law.
In a separate filing on Tuesday, AEW and Tony Khan are seeking to seal confidential information related to the three independent contractor agreements that Nemeth signed from 2021 to 2023. They argue that the agreements contain “sensitive, confidential and proprietary information belonging to the Petitioners, including but not limited to information related to its business practices, its internal economic structures, compensation agreements, and intellectual property.”

Remember when Ric Flair tried to hit the People's Elbow and turned it into his classic strut, just to get beat up immediately?
That “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” had me dead! 😭
The Rock mocking Ric Flair’s strut right after was the most hilarious thing possible. lol 😂
@ItBegins2012@JustAlyxCentral Yeah, but this is professional wrestling, not professional manners, and people will pay to see Phil, even if he's a little cranky.
@AppaGarg@JoypadLadShop@DirtSheetRadio He's bulking up to leave the biggest promotion to go to a much smaller one, which doesn't highlight big guys? That's a bold strategy, Cotton.
