It was a little bit greater than a month ago when Janel Grant, WWE, and Vince McMahon filed a joint motion to have Grant’s lawsuit against each parties moved to arbitration. Now one other development suggests that, greater than ever, the situation is heading towards a conclusion. Taking to X early Tuesday morning, Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics posted a filing by Grant’s lawyer Ann Callis, confirming that Grant, McMahon, and WWE had agreed to go to personal arbitration.<\/p>\n

That will not be the ultimate matter on the case, nonetheless, as Grant, McMahon, and WWE are all expected to file to dismiss the lawsuit, with prejudice, in the following five days. A filing to dismiss with prejudice will mean that Grant cannot refile a lawsuit against McMahon at a later date. Once that process is complete, a judge may have to approve of the filing, an approval that may likely be seen as a formality given the agreement between all parties.<\/p>\n

The agreement ends the legal aspect of a scandal that began in 2022, when the Wall Street Journal reported that McMahon was being investigated by the WWE Board of Directors for payments made to Grant and other women to cover up McMahon’s relationships with them. The scandal became sufficiently big that McMahon would retire just months after these revelations, though he returned to WWE in January 2023, resuming his role as WWE Chairman. Grant’s identity remained a mystery until January 2024, when she filed her lawsuit accusing McMahon of sex trafficking and abuse during their relationship. The lawsuit led to McMahon resigning from WWE days later.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n
