Vince McMahon’s lawyers recently filed a ‘Statement of Material Facts’ in support of his motion to compel arbitration, shedding new light on the accusations made against him. The filing, which is undisputed, aims to prove McMahon’s right to introduce additional evidence in the case.
In January, former WWE employee Janel Grant accused McMahon of s*x trafficking, alleging that he coerced her into certain actions. However, McMahon has refuted these claims. The filing reveals that McMahon and Grant were involved in a three-year relationship that ended in 2022, leading to a confidential settlement agreement negotiated by Grant for monetary compensation ranging from one to three million dollars.
The filing emphasizes McMahon’s belief that the stated material facts are crucial in resolving the ongoing dispute. It also highlights McMahon’s intention to present additional evidence related to witness credibility, state of mind, and other relevant factors if required by the court.

Furthermore, the settlement agreement draft sent by Grant’s attorneys outlined the process for resolving disputes, emphasizing binding arbitration as the exclusive legal method. The venue for arbitration proceedings is specified as Stamford, Connecticut, with provisions for attorney’s fees and costs recovery by the prevailing party.
McMahon agreed to pay Grant three million dollars over four years, with the first installment of one million dollars issued shortly after signing the agreement. WWE Superstar CM Punk has weighed in on the scandal, condemning the allegations and drawing parallels to past controversies in the wrestling industry.
This latest development in the legal battle between McMahon and Grant provides a deeper insight into the complexities of the case and sets the stage for further legal proceedings.
