SLAM! Wrestling reports that Devon "Hannibal" Nicholson has filed a wrongful dismissal/breach of contract lawsuit against WWE.

Nicholson is seeking almost $6 million from the company.

Nicholson filed a $6.5 million lawsuit against Abdullah The Butcher for allegedly giving him Hepatitis C earlier this past summer. Nicholson says the WWE offered him a standard contract and later rescinded when it was discovered during a physical (required for employment) he had Hepatitis C.
