Vince McMahon Sex Trafficking Lawsuit Update – Judge Issues Jan. 31 Deadline Date for Grant’s Amended Lawsuit Filing & Denies Previous Motions Filed by Grant, McMahon, & WWE

As noted before, former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit in January of 2024 against former TKO Executive Chairman Vince McMahon accusing McMahon of committing sex trafficking and sexual abuse towards her during her time in the company. Besides McMahon, WWE and former WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis were also named defendants in the lawsuit. Grant recently filed a motion requesting for additional time for her amended lawsuit while McMahon and WWE filed motions in opposition.

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that United States District of Connecticut District Judge Sarah F. Russell issued a ruling today denying Grant’s motion requesting a status conference for her lawsuit against McMahon, WWE, and Laurinaitis.

In her ruling, Russell stated that the previous stay in the lawsuit has been lifted and gave a deadline of January 31st for Grant to file her amended lawsuit against the defendants. Russell also ruled that Grant can include any argument in that new filing.

Russell also ruled denied WWE and McMahon’s attempts to move the case to arbitration until after Grant files an amended complaint and it is approved by the court.
