As noted before, former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit in January of 2024 against former WWE/TKO Executive Chairman Vince McMahon accusing McMahon of committing sex trafficking and sexual abuse towards her during her time in the company. Grant filed a new amended lawsuit in February of 2025 detailing new evidence and claims against McMahon, WWE, and others. Grant had filed a memorandum this past April containing additional details in her allegations against McMahon, WWE President Nick Khan, former WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis, Brock Lesnar, and WWE itself. A joint motion was filed on Thursday by McMahon, Grant, and WWE requesting for the lawsuit to be moved out of the public and into private arbitration instead.
Post Wrestling and Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston reported that Judge Sarah F. Russell granted approval to the joint motion on Friday.
In her ruling, Russell ordered for McMahon, Grant, and WWE to file a joint status report by July 10th.
Thurston reported that Russel also ordered that if an agreement on the conditions of arbitration is not reached by that date, then all parties will be required to attend a court hearing in August.
