Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston, reports that AEW has been hit with class action complaint. The plaintiff is alleging that All Elite Wrestling, LLC violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The complaint stated that the promotion’s merchandise website, ShopAEW.com lacks accessibility to visually impaired people. As noted by Thurston, a similar complaint was filed against WWE back in 2020, which was later settled.
