Update on Billy Jack Haynes vs WWE Lawsuit

wwe nxt PWInsider.com is reporting WWE has requested another time extension to respond to the lawsuit brought against the company by Billy Jack Haynes.

The request was granted by the judge yesterday, so WWE has until 1/30/15 to respond to the lawsuit.

Once WWE’s response has been filed, the Portland, Oregon court can proceed with the case.

As we previously reported, Billy Jack Haynes filed a 30 page lawsuit, designed to be similar to the one brought against the NFL by former players, alleging WWE “has, for decades, subjected its wrestlers to extreme physical brutality that it knew, or should have known, caused long-term irreversible bodily damage, including brain damage.”
