John Laurinaitis attracted attention due to his alleged involvement in Vince McMahon’s hush money settlement scandal, which led to WWE parting ways with him. Additionally, Laurinaitis was implicated in McMahon’s trafficking lawsuit, where he asserted that he was merely a victim. However, a former WWE employee has come forward, expressing willingness to testify in Laurinaitis’ defense.
As previously reported, Vince McMahon is facing accusations of sexual trafficking and other misconduct from former WWE employee Janel Grant. In her lawsuit, Grant alleges that McMahon shared explicit content of her without consent, involving other WWE employees, unnamed executives, and stars, and directed her to engage in sexual activities with them.
John Laurinaitis was also named in the lawsuit, with allegations that he also engaged in sexual activities with Janel Grant. Laurinaitis then claimed that he was victim in the lawsuit and even submitted sworn statement in the case.
WWE’s former head of security, Jimmy Noonan, talked about his potential involvement if John Laurinaitis faces trial. While speaking on the Cheap Heat Productions Podcast, Noonan shared that he always had a positive relationship with Laurinaitis and expressed his willingness to assist if the former on-screen authority figure requires support in Court.
“If they ever called me to a case where he was on trial, I would go and I would write a letter and give my two cents if they ever wanted it. Johnny Laurinaitis is a good man.”
There is also expectation within WWE that the Feds will find dirt on Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis as part of their investigation. Regardless, we’ll have to see what will become of Laurinaitis and McMahon in the end.
