Is WWE REALLY plagiarising Abraham Washington?

Former WWE personality Abraham Washington has alleged that the company has been stealing and recycling several of his ideas on television lately.

Washington made the claims during a recent appearance on the High Spots Podcast, stating that he recently sent a bunch of different ideas to the promotion and was told they'd be forwarded to the writers. This apparently includes elements of Seth Rollins' current 'Monday Night Messiah' gimmick.

"I feel they’re using certain elements of my material, and yeah, I’m not too happy about it,” said Washington, who now operates as Reverend Jeremiah Constantine. “You know because here’s the thing I sent the WWE a video of me doing the Jeremiah Constantine thing the whole religious aspect with the studio audience mind you. All these things that I use right now and I got a response from someone saying that, ‘okay I’m going to send this to a lead writer.’"

Washington added: "So I know that they’ve seen the material and they know what I’m doing you know and certain aspects of that have come out on TV and I’ve never gotten a response from them, so it just upsets me the fact that you can’t even acknowledge me and that you’re taking from my stuff, especially with the Seth stuff."

The former Prime Time Players' manager also claimed Bray Wyatt's recent Firefly Fun House Breaking News skit as his own.
