10 Things You Didn’t Know About WWE In 1999

3. Sable Sued The WWF

Many know Sable as one of the greatest Divas of all time, and the current wife of Brock Lesnar. She had a successful run with the WWF from 1996 until 1999, and returned to the WWE in 2003. What few people know, however, is that the 2003 return was extremely unlikely given how Rena Mero departed from the WWF. When she left in June 1999, Rena filed a $110 million lawsuit against the WWF citing allegations of sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions. According to the suit, she was asked to go topless and she refused. She also wanted the rights to the name €œSable,€ which Vince McMahon countersued for. The lawsuit was settled out of court.
