According to a Pwinsider report, the lawsuit over Randy Orton and 2K Games involving the use of Orton’s tattoos has a new trial date. After several delays, the new trial date was set for September 20, 2021 at 9 am before the United States District Court, Southern District of Illinois (East St. Louis). The date was originally set for February 16 before being postponed again to September.
Tattoo artist Catherine Alexander filed the lawsuit at WWE & Take-Two Interactive (2K Games, 2K Spots, Visual Concepts Entertainment, YUKES Co) about the use of Orton’s tattoos, which were her own. The editors used the designs for Orton’s image in the game and did not obtain his permission. These tattoos include the tribal tattoos on Orton’s forearm, a Bible verse on his arm, a dove, a rose and a skull.
