The pro wrestling world was rocked in a big way when Janel Grant's lawsuit named Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis. Now, the names of other executives were named, and the company is reacting.
In a sex-trafficking lawsuit filed in January, WWE president Nick Khan and COO Brad Blum were identified as Corporate Officers No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. The lawsuit alleges their involvement in a scheme where plaintiff Janel Grant was purportedly "a sexual slave within the WWE." Now, WWE has issued a response to this blockbuster headline.
In response to the allegations, WWE issued a statement expressing its serious approach to Ms. Grant's claims and emphasized a zero-tolerance policy toward physical abuse or unwanted contact.
The statement also clarified that neither Khan nor Blum were aware of any allegations by Ms. Grant prior to the lawsuit filed on January 25, 2024, nor does the complaint allege that either had knowledge of such incidents.
"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."
It is important to note that neither Blum nor Khan have been accused of engaging in any sexually inappropriate behavior with Janel Grant.

The lawsuit alleges that WWE CEO Khan played a significant role in a scheme involving Grant's hiring for an unspecified position, as reported by Front Office Sports. Khan is identified as 'Corporate Officer 1' in the legal documents, alongside WWE COO Blum, who is listed as 'Officer 2.' McMahon introduced Blum and Khan to Grant as his 'key fixers,' according to the suit.
The lawsuit further contends that in March 2021, Grant informed McMahon that Khan recognized her when she introduced herself in a corridor, with Khan allegedly questioning her trustworthiness. McMahon purportedly relayed to Grant that Khan had doubts about her reliability. However, a WWE spokesperson denies the occurrence of this conversation.
