JANEL GRANT LAWSUIT LIKELY HEADING FOR ARBITRATION

A joint motion filed by all parties today before The United States District Court of Connecticut gives all indications that Janel Grant's lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon will indeed land in arbitation.

A five page filing today noted:

"PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the parties respectfully submit this joint motion for a short adjournment of the upcoming hearing on Defendants’ Motions to Compel Arbitration and Plaintiff’s Renewed Motion for Leave to Serve Motion-Related Discovery, which is currently scheduled for June 16, 2026. The parties are in active discussions regarding a potential agreement to arbitrate the dispute in confidential arbitration that would moot those motions. They seek this relief in good faith, to avoid unnecessarily consuming the Court’s and the parties’ resources—and so they can focus on progressing the potential arbitration agreement. The Parties respectfully propose that the Court temporarily adjourn the hearing and allow them to file a Joint Status Report within 21 days."

Moving it to arbitation would mean whatever resolution takes place would happen out of the public eye and certainly, if they come to a settlement, it will likely never be publicly disclosed.

The court has not yet signed off to approve the motion.
