John Laurinaitis Removed from Janel Grant Lawsuit, Now Assisting in Case – John Laurinaitis has officially been removed as a defendant in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE. The United States District Court for the District of Connecticut dismissed Laurinaitis from the case on May 30, with the order stating:
“Defendant John Laurinaitis is dismissed from this action with prejudice. The court respectfully directs the clerk to terminate Mr. Laurinaitis from the action.” — Judge Sarah F. Russell
Laurinaitis is now assisting Grant in her legal battle against McMahon and WWE. According to reports, he has agreed to provide evidence in the case, marking a significant shift in his involvement2.
Grant’s lawsuit alleges that McMahon lured her with promises of career advancement before exploiting her and trafficking her to other men within the company. In 2022, she signed a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) with McMahon in exchange for a $3 million settlement intended to prevent her from speaking publicly about their relationship. However, Grant claims she only received $1 million before payments stopped.
Meanwhile, McMahon and WWE are working to move the case into arbitration, with a deadline of June 13 for filing motions.
