AEW, CFX reach settlement in Luchasaurus mask lawsuit

A settlement has been reached between AEW and CFX over the mask worn by Luchasaurus.

Composite Effects, LLC (CFX) filed a complaint in December alleging the mask is their design and that AEW and Luchasaurus were using it for merchandising purposes without the designer’s permission. 

CFX had granted Luchasaurus permission to wear the mask as a wrestler but allege that neither he nor AEW had the rights to sell merchandise featuring the mask design. The company cited Luchasaurus action figures and t-shirts as examples. 

AEW holds the rights to another mask created by CFX in 2021 for Luchasaurus. However, that mask was used only sparingly with Luchasaurus primarily wrestling in the mask CFX originally designed for him in 2016. 

Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics posted on Thursday that all parties have reached a settlement.
