There are various aspects in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, alleging sex trafficking and abuse from McMahon during his tenure running WWE, that may determine whether the case heads to trial, or gets sent to arbitration. But perhaps the important thing factor is Grant’s ongoing legal issues with Dr. Carlton Colker, the pinnacle of the medical clinic Peak Wellness, where Grant alleges she was sent by McMahon during their relationship as a way to keep Grant under McMahon’s thumb.
During the last yr, Grant’s legal team has consistently sought discovery from Colker and Peak Wellness, with Colker fighting back by filing his own lawsuit against Grant’s lawyer, Ann Callis. Ultimately, it appears to be a battle that Grant has won. On X late Monday afternoon, BJ Bethel reported that the Connecticut Superior Court had ruled in favor of Grant, allowing her bill of discovery against Colker and Peak Wellness to be filed. The ruling confirms that discovery can begin in Grant’s case against Colker, and that Colker could have to supply, amongst other things, Grant’s medical records and Colker’s “communications with McMahon regarding Grant and other information.”

The ruling is a victory for Grant, and suggests not less than some information regarding her case against McMahon, even when its related to Colker and Peak Wellness only, will see the sunshine of day. When that will likely be the case stays to be seen, though the judge’s ruling included an order to each Grant and Colker/Peak Wellness “to submit scheduling order proposals, laying out deadlines and times.” This is able to appear to suggest there continues to be a ways before the invention process effectively begins.
Here’s the ruling from Judge Colleen Zingaro.
