WWE has been around or decades and become the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. There have been several people who have caused that to be the case, with Vince McMahon at the top of the list. However, over the years there have been various rumors, innuendos and even accusations against McMahon, some of which are very serious. Now he might be facing his most serious allegations of them all.

According to the Wall Street Journal, WWE staffer Janel Grant is suing Vince McMahon with accusations of sex trafficking. Grant is one of the women McMahon paid to stay silent behind an NDA in an ordeal revealed last year. The lawsuit says that Grant was “sexually exploited” by McMahon, who offered to help advance her career in exchange for a sexual relationship. When the relationship started, McMahon sexually abused her and sent her to other men in the company. This includes John Laurinaitis, who is also named in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also alleges that Grant’s career was threatened if she did not continue with the relationship. Grant also accuses McMahon of using her as a “pawn” to entice wrestlers to sign new deals with the company and force her to have sex with other WWE employees. When McMahon’s wife Linda found out about the situation, Grant was enticed to quit WWE while signing an NDA and was told McMahon would give her $3 million. However, McMahon never paid her and accused her of violating the agreement. There has been no comment from anyone involved in the situation or the TKO Group.
There are several more explicit details of various actions included in the report that I will not be printing here. If you do read the Wall Street Journal article, keep in mind that it contains some graphic descriptions of sexual acts.
Opinion: Depending on how this goes, this may be the very last you ever hear about McMahon. These are some of the most serious accusations you will hear and paints McMahon as an absolute monster who has done horrible things. I’m not sure how all of this is going to shake out, but there is a real chance that McMahon is done with wrestling, or pretty much anything else, if not being in some major legal trouble.
