Big Lawsuit Between John Cena and The WWE

According to many sites all over the internet The WWE, John Cena and Sony BMG Music are currently in a lawsuit with The Royalty Network Inc surrounding the intellectual property of John Cena’s “It’s My Time” entrance music that he uses on WWE RAW.

The plaintiff claims that WWE have been using the music under false pretenses, in that the copyright was signed over to them by somebody who doesn’t have the power to do so, and therefore are requesting that all properties containing the music (games, DVDs, CDs) be destroyed and that WWE pay them damages of $150,000.00 plus court fees.

John Cena is listed in the lawsuit because he added lyrics to the music and is therefore trying to pass it off as his own, when they claim the music never legally belonged to him or the WWE.

If the plaintiff wins Cena would  have to give up his entrance music and WWE would have to literally edit out every piece of merchandise that is still on retail and re-release it with new music.

When I heard about this my mouth dropped, I mean we all know Cena as his first image in the WWE as a rapper and now he is passing of the Marine gimmick after his movie. He is immensely popular in the WWE.

I don't know if he will be getting rid of the song and replacing his entrance with another one when he returns, but when WWE audiences hear the song "It's My Time" they explode awaiting his arrival.

He has had other music before "It's My Time" but that was the one he has had ever since he first became a champion and became popular. This could potentially big a big worry, but I doubt it. I don't see John Cena going to TNA or anything either.

Of course the WWE could avoid this if they just pay the one flat fee. They have the money so really why not?

But I've got to know what you think, so let me know.
