John Laurinaitis Submits Sworn Statement in Janel Grant Lawsuit

John Laurinaitis took a significant legal step by filing a sworn statement aimed at shifting the lawsuit filed against him, Vince McMahon, and WWE by Janel Grant into private arbitration.

In this sworn statement file on June 8, Laurinaitis cited his status as a full-time WWE employee during the time of Grant’s Non-Disclosure Agreement with Vince McMahon and WWE. He asserted that he believed himself to be a “released party” from any legal actions initiated by Janel Grant.

Additionally, Laurinaitis pointed to the terms outlined in the Confidential Settlement Agreement, which stipulated that any disputes or issues arising from the agreement must be resolved through binding arbitration as mandated by the Federal Arbitration Act.

It’s worth noting that Grant has consented to temporarily halt her lawsuit at the request of the Justice Department.

Laurinaitis’s move to seek private arbitration reflects a legal strategy aimed at resolving the dispute outside of traditional court proceedings, potentially offering a quicker and more confidential resolution to the ongoing legal matters.
