The lawsuits filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis in January 2024, which alleged sexual assault and trafficking, are being moved to private arbitration after a Connecticut federal court approved the shift. In a joint status report, the parties said they have executed an agreement to arbitrate, and Grant must file a stipulation of voluntary dismissal with prejudice within five business days, which would dismiss the federal case entirely as to the remaining defendants but preserve the right to pursue claims in arbitration. Once the stipulation is approved, the federal case will be dismissed with prejudice and cannot be refiled, while the dispute continues under private arbitration. The arbitration process is also expected to address issues related to a 2022 nondisclosure agreement (NDA) that Grant challenged as unenforceable and coercive. Laurinaitis has been dropped from the suit, leaving McMahon and WWE to face continued arbitration over the remaining claims. Overall, the public federal case is ending, but the fight is moving behind closed doors through arbitration, with Grant’s broader allegations and NDA concerns still to be resolved.
