Vince McMahon back at WWE ahead of media rights negotiations

WWE Shareholders Drop Lawsuit Against Vince McMahon​


A lawsuit against Vince McMahon by WWE Shareholders has been dropped as of Wednesday according to a new report from Bloomberg, a result of McMahon agreeing to repay the $17.4 million it cost the company to investigate him . Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster granted the motion, and the council for the WWE investors indicated they will seek a "mootness fee" for helping to force McMahon's hand. The report also notes that the $17.4 million seems to cover only the probe and not the $20 million or so that McMahon allegedly paid out to
his accusers. There is another group of shareholders who are also seeking a mootness fee after they dropped a related case when McMahon backed off on some bylaw changes he put into place when he returned to power in January.

Vince McMahon to Remain WWE Chairman 'Until Death, Resignation or Incapacity'​


There was often a running joke that Vince McMahon would leave WWE over his dead body. It turns out that joke is now in legal writing. Wrestlenomics reported McMahon is only allowed to leave his post as WWE executive chairman due to "death, resignation or incapacity" under terms of the merger the company signed with Endeavor. The condition reportedly was added by Endeavor—not WWE—in order to agree to a 51/49 split in favor of WWE's new primary owner. Endeavor plans on splitting off WWE and UFC into its own multibillion-dollar entity, but the company has not been named. McMahon, 77, has run WWE since purchasing the company from his father in 1982, with the exception being a six-month hiatus after resigning last year. He returned to his post as WWE executive chairman in January in what amounted to a hostile takeover, which ultimately led to the deal with Endeavor. It's likely Endeavor views McMahon in a similar light to Dana White, who remained on as UFC president after his stake in the MMA promotion was sold. McMahon does not seem interested in being in the week-to-week weeds the way he was for much of his career—Paul "Triple H" Levesque runs the day-to-day creative—but he clearly carries a ton of sway in making large creative decisions and has significant power from a corporate perspective.

D-Von Dudley Says Vince McMahon's Grudge With Catholic Church Led To Reverend Gimmick​


It wouldn't be a stretch to claim that Vince McMahon waged war against the Catholic Church in the early 2000s. In the wake of shocking sex abuse cases against priests, McMahon authorized a televised segment where Booker T posed as a priest and heard the sins of teenage girls inside a confessional, following which Steve Austin chased him around the church. The segment caused an uproar as religious groups began picketing WWE headquarters and invading shows. In typical McMahon fashion, he used the protests to further mock the Catholic Church by creating the heel Reverend D-Von character in 2002. The character was introduced following the 2002 WWE Draft, which broke up The Dudley Boyz into two singles superstars. According to D-Von, McMahon felt it was "hypocritical" on the church's part to criticize WWE's overly-sexual content when the religious institution was dealing with issues of its own.

Vince McMahon Accused of Sex Trafficking by WWE Staffer He Paid to Keep Quiet​


A woman who received a payout from WWE boss Vince McMahon has accused McMahon, the company and a former executive of sex trafficking in a new lawsuit that raises questions about the breadth of an internal company probe conducted by a law firm last year. Janel Grant, a former employee at WWE’s headquarters, said in a lawsuit filed Thursday that she was abused and sexually exploited by McMahon while he was chief executive. She alleged that McMahon lured her with promises of career advancement, and then he allegedly exploited her and trafficked her to other men inside the company. Grant signed a nondisclosure agreement in 2022 in which McMahon agreed to pay S3 million for her to not discuss their relationship or to disparage him.

Grant signed a nondisclosure agreement in 2022 in which McMahon agreed to pay $3 million for her to not discuss their relationship or to disparage him. The WWE received an anonymous tip in 2022 about the relationship and started a board investigation, which uncovered other payments by the CEO to women. Grant’s lawsuit said McMahon stopped making payments under the 2022 deal after the initial $1 million installment. The suit seeks to void the agreement and unspecified financial damages. The suit also includes screenshots of explicit text messages that McMahon allegedly sent to Grant. A May 2020 message said: “i’m the only one who owns U and controls who I want to f— U.”

Vince McMahon resigns from TKO day after ex-employee's lawsuit​


Vince McMahon, who co-founded the modern WWE in 1982, has resigned from his role as TKO executive chairman and from his position on the TKO board of directors, he said in a statement provided to ESPN on Friday night. McMahon, 78, leaves the publicly traded company -- which was formed when UFC merged with WWE last year -- following a lawsuit filed Thursday that accuses him of sexual misconduct. McMahon, a multibillionaire, stepped down as WWE's CEO in 2022 amid an investigation into allegations that match those in the lawsuit.

McMahon briefly retired from WWE in July 2022 following revelations of multiple payouts to several women connected to sexual misconduct allegations. The internal investigation conducted by an outside law firm found $14.6 million in payments by McMahon. WWE said that November that McMahon had repaid the company, and he was soon back with the organization. McMahon is credited with revolutionizing the pro wrestling industry and bringing it into the mainstream. The third-generation promoter purchased the then-WWF in 1982 from his father and two years later bet big on his idea with the debut of WrestleMania.

Suit against Vince McMahon paused at Justice Dept.'s request​

The woman accusing Vince McMahon of sexual misconduct agreed to pause her lawsuit against the former WWE CEO after a request from the Justice Department, her attorney told ABC News on Thursday. Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, alleged in a 67-page suit filed in January that McMahon forced her into a sexual relationship in order for her to keep her job and passed around pornographic content of her to other men at the company. "Ms. Grant has consented to a request by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to stay her case against Mr. McMahon, WWE and Mr. [John] Laurinaitis, pursuant to a pending non-public investigation," Ann Callis, Grant's attorney, said in a statement to ABC News. "We will cooperate with all appropriate next steps."

In the lawsuit, Grant said McMahon paid $1 million but stopped making payments thereafter. She seeks to void the NDA and receive unspecified financial damages. Grant signed a nondisclosure agreement in 2022 in connection with an agreement from McMahon to pay her $3 million.
