The much talked about Janel Grant lawsuit against former WWE
Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon and WWE itself is now moving
to private arbitration.
The move, to shift the lawsuit from public to private
arbitration, has been long requested by Vince McMahon and
WWE and long fought against by Grant and her attorneys.
But last month, something changed and Grant’s legal team
eventually agreed to move it from the public eye, continuing
to find a resolution away from all the media circus that
such cases bring.
“Pursuant to the Court’s July 13, 2026 order, ECF No. 151,
Plaintiff Janel Grant, Defendant World Wrestling
Entertainment, LLC, and Defendant Vincent K. McMahon
(together, the “Parties”) jointly report that the Parties
have executed an agreement to arbitrate their dispute,”
Grant’s attorney Ann Callis wrote in a Joint Status Report.
“Pursuant to that agreement, within five business days,
Plaintiff shall execute and cause to be filed a Stipulation
of Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice causing the action to
be dismissed in its entirety, as to both remaining
defendants, but without prejudice to the Parties’ rights to
pursue their claims and defenses in arbitration.”
Grant’s team have tried to collect other witnesses and
alleged victims of McMahon’s to bolster up their fight in
court but rather than putting McMahon and WWE in front of a
judge, it looks like this case will be settled behind closed
doors.
