WWE and Vince McMahon Seek Private Arbitration for Grant Lawsuit

Janel Grant’s sex-trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE is moving toward confidential arbitration after a joint court filing requesting an adjournment of the June 16 hearing; the parties say they are actively pursuing arbitration per a 2022 NDA, which could moot the court motions, though Judge Sarah F. Russell hasn’t ruled yet. Grant had challenged the arbitration clause in the past, and the filing notes ongoing discussions to resolve the dispute in private forum, shifting proceedings away from the public court record.
