WWE and Panini Reach Settlement, Judge Asked To Dismiss With Prejudice

Back in September, WWE terminated their deal with trading card company Panini for breach of contract. WWE then filed an injunction against the company last month, while Panini sued in order to retain the license. Their original deal expired on December 31, 2025. The two parties had seemingly reached an agreement last week and now that is confirmed.

Paul Lesko reports that WWE and Panini have reached a settlement and have asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice. That means the case is dead and cannot be refiled later. Panini agreed to dismiss all claims against WWE and both sides will pay for their own costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees.

Yesterday, and as expected, Panini and WWE finally informed the court they settled their issues against each other…and asked the court to dismiss the action WITH PREJUDICE meaning the case will be dead dead dead. pic.twitter.com/CpIv7L3KC6
