WWE’s Jerry McDevitt issued the following statement from K&L Gates on behalf of the WWE in regards to the new lawsuit against the company from former WWE superstar Big Vito (Vito Lograsso) and former WWE developmental talent Adam Mercer (Evan Singleton).

“This lawsuit is virtually identical to one filed by the same lawyers in Oregon, neither of which have any merit. WWE has never concealed any medical information related to concussions, or otherwise, from our talent.

WWE was well ahead of sports organizations in implementing concussion management procedures and policies as a precautionary measure, as the science and research on this issue emerged. We will vigorously contest this lawsuit.”
