Former Impact Wrestling star Aaron “Michael Elgin” Frobel, 35, filed a lawsuit against the company on 2/8 before the Circuit Court of Davidson County, TN, seeking “not less than” five million dollars in compensatory damages from a “material breach” of his "Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, Professional Wrestler Booking Agreement", specifically financial incentives to be paid to him for his in ring performances, training, social media, merchandise and royalties.

The lawsuit stems from Impact’s decision to remove Frobel from Impact Wrestling programming in June 2020
