Vince McMahon remains a controversial figure in professional wrestling, currently facing allegations of sexual trafficking that have ignited significant debate. In light of these allegations, Alberto Del Rio is now defending McMahon.
On January 25th, Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, filed a lawsuit against WWE, John Laurinaitis, and Vince McMahon. The lawsuit alleges McMahon’s involvement in sexual assault, emotional abuse, and sex trafficking, detailing incidents that took place between their initial meeting in March 2019 and March 2022.
While speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling, former WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio was asked to share his thoughts on Vince McMahon’s ongoing lawsuit. Alberto Del Rio defended Vince McMahon against the allegations made in his sexual trafficking lawsuit.
Del Rio emphasized his belief in McMahon’s character and expressed concerns about the impact of the allegations on McMahon’s legacy in the wrestling industry. He argued that the accusations should be viewed with skepticism and pointed out McMahon’s contributions to the wrestling business. Del Rio added that fans should separate personal matters from Vince’s professional contributions to wrestling.
“The law system works in different ways in every state, but I can tell you this: the law system in America works, and it’s fair, and they always find the truth. Whenever they do, whatever the truth is—whether it’s for one side or the other—it will be a matter of whether people can accept the truth or not. I’m saying this because that’s exactly what happened with me.
The truth is out there; it’s just for the people to see it. But there are still some people who don’t want to see the truth. For whatever reason, they continue attacking a man who does nothing but work, work, work, provide for his family, and give his best to the wrestling business. When it comes to Mr. McMahon, it’s going to be the same. The law system will find the truth, and they’ll put it out there. Then it will be up to the people to either believe that truth or continue attacking Mr. McMahon.
Whatever happens, I have to say this: it’s not fair that the world is destroying him right now. They’re forgetting that none of this—none of this beautiful business—would be here today the way it is if it wasn’t for him. The personal stuff has to be completely separated from what he created in our industry. That’s the only thing I find unfair. So to everyone out there, I say this: the law system will find the truth. Be ready.”
The lawsuit is currently on hold pending federal investigation. Regardless, we’ll have to see what will become of Vince McMahon in the end, as things simply do not look good for him.
