Lawsuit against WWE, Fanatics, and Cody Rhodes over American Nightmare term settled

The 2024 lawsuit against WWE, Fanatics, and Cody Rhodes over the use of the term “American Nightmare” has been settled out of court.

Wesley Eisold of the band American Nightmare, who filed the lawsuit, had claimed that Rhodes broke their 2019 settlement agreement when Rhodes trademarked the term for merchandise and he was allowed to use it as long as the term is used in conjunction with his name or likeness and imagery has to be at least 75% larger than the American Nightmare text.

Rhodes originally paid $30,000 for the agreement and Eisold was looking for nearly $1 million in damages, trademark infringement, and legal fees, after he tried to contact WWE, Rhodes, and Fanatics in 2022 with cease and desist letters.

It was not revealed how much money exchanged hands to make the lawsuit disappear.
