A US judge rejected World Wrestling Entertainment's effort to dismiss a smaller rival's antitrust lawsuit that accused it of monopolizing the market for professional wrestling media rights. In a decision on Thursday, US District Judge Edward Davila in San Jose, California, said MLW Media had presented enough 'circumstantial' evidence that WWE uses its dominance to keep rivals from accessing various distributors and arenas. MLW said Stamford, Connecticut-based WWE commands about 92% of revenue from US media rights for pro wrestling, versus 6% for All Elite Wrestling and less than 2% for everyone else.
