John Laurinaitis may be out of the lawsuit, but the spotlight on Vince McMahon is only intensifyingand now new details are emerging about how his corporate decisions inside WWE may have aligned with his personal life.
During the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Garrett Gonzales pressed Dave Meltzer about the deeper corporate implications of the lawsuit, specifically the timeline of when Laurinaitis returned to power and how that aligned with Grants rapid entry into WWEs system. Meltzer didnt hold back and described the entire setup as McMahon using the companys executive infrastructure to facilitate his personal agenda.
Meltzer laid out the internal timeline, revealing that Laurinaitis returned to WWE in March 2021, replacing Triple H in talent relationssomething that was already seen as a red flag internally. At the same time, Janel Grant was brought in as Laurinaitis assistant, despite already having an alleged personal relationship with McMahon.
He continued, pointing out how McMahon allegedly tried to elevate Grants status within WWE beyond what made sense for her role.
But Meltzers most damning accusation came when he described how McMahon allegedly manipulated WWEs structure to suit his personal life.
He didnt stop there.
While Laurinaitis has settled and stepped away as a co-defendant, hes now cooperating as a witness, adding more fuel to the already explosive legal battle. WWE and McMahon are expected to file motions by June 13 to move the case to private arbitration, citing a nondisclosure agreement signed by Grant. In the meantime, the discovery phase continuesand so do the revelations.
If Meltzers timeline holds true, this could go far beyond one lawsuitit could expose the entire corporate culture that allowed it to happen.
