Overview

  • John Laurinaitis reached a confidential agreement with Janel Grant and was formally dismissed from the lawsuit he once faced alongside Vince McMahon.
  • Laurinaitis has agreed to cooperate fully with Grant’s legal team and provide evidence to support her claims against McMahon and WWE.
  • Grant’s complaint, filed in January 2024, accuses McMahon and Laurinaitis of using WWE property and funds to sexually assault and traffic her over several years.
  • McMahon resigned as executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings shortly after the lawsuit was filed and has consistently denied all allegations as unfounded.
  • The suit also seeks to void a $3 million nondisclosure pact Grant signed in 2022 after she alleges McMahon failed to fulfill his payment obligations.
