According to PWInsider, WWE and Britney Abrahams filed a joint motion before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on August 25, each asking for the court to extend WWE’s due date to respond to Abrahams’ lawsuit against the company to November 3.

The lawsuit is still active against WWE.
