Earlier this year, Vince McMahon was sued over various sexual assault allegations as well as accusations of sex trafficking a former WWE employee. While McMahon was the primary person named in the suit, there were others included who were not listed by name. This has led to questions about who those people might be and now we might have an idea of who some of them were.

The lawsuit filed against McMahon included references to various unnamed “Corporate Officers”, who were only identified by numbers. According to Front Office Sports, WWE President Nick Khan and WWE COO Brad Blum have been identified as Corporate Officer #1 and Corporate Officer #2 respectively. An attorney for Janel Grant, the victim in the whole matter, has confirmed these identities are accurate.

It should be noted that neither Khan or Blum are said to have known of any abuse, but were rater named to help “fix” things for McMahon. Blum hired Grant to the company for a $75,000 a year job in the legal department and later told her that there were “rumors circulating” about a relationship between Grant and McMahon. Khan is said to have been told of the relationship between McMahon and Grant in a meeting, though WWE has denied such a meeting took place.

In addition, Corporate Office #3 is identified as Stephanie McMahon, though she was only mentioned once in the report. Corporate Officer #4 is identified as Brian Nurse, who offered Grant a job on McMahon’s orders.

WWE has released the following response:

“WWE takes Ms. Grant’s allegations very seriously and has no tolerance for any physical abuse or unwanted physical contact. Neither Nick Khan nor Brad Blum, prior to the lawsuit being filed on January 25, 2024, were aware of any allegation by Ms. Grant that she was the victim of abuse or unwanted physical contact; nor does the complaint allege that either had knowledge of such.”

Opinion: This is the definition of a situation where we’ll have to wait and see what happens. At the end of the day, there is a huge line in the sand between participating in the actions and covering them up, but there is nothing good that comes out of taking part in this kind of a cover up. I’m not sure what is going to happen here, but it does not seem to be something that is going to be skipped over.
