A WWE shareholder has filed a class action suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery, claiming Vince McMahon, who resigned last year, used his power as the wrestling media company’s controlling shareholder to manipulate directors into reappointing him chairman of the board.

Plaintiff Scott Fellows is represented by Labaton Sucharow and Friedlander & Gorris, with Friedman Oster & Tejtel and Kaskela Law of counsel, and has asked the court to determine on an expedited schedule that McMahon’s Jan. 5 written consent wrongly hinders the board’s power and jeopardizes WWE’s value to shareholders.
