Kevin Kelly, Tate Twins file lawsuit against AEW

A lawsuit has been filed against AEW. Kevin Kelly and The Boys (Brendan and Brandon Tate) have filed suit against the company. Kelly alleges defamation from Ian Riccaboni and AEW, stemming from Riccaboni making comments on a discord channel regarding Kelly being involved with QAnon conspiracies. He is seeking monetary damages claiming AEW breached his contract and that the situation has made it difficult for him to find work elsewhere. Kelly was fired from AEW in March. The Tate Twins were fired in April. Tony Khan stated publicly that their releases were due to no-showing events, which the brothers later attributed to a miscommunication between them and management after they were booked to fly out of a different airport than they normally use. The claim they no-showed events is at the center of their defamation suit against Khan and AEW. Kelly and the Tate twins are also requesting the court certify a class-action suit against AEW over the company misclassifying its talent as independent contractors rather
