On May 28, POST Wrestling received a statement confirming that John Laurinaitis has been dismissed from the sex trafficking lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant against Laurinaitis, Vince McMahon, and WWE.

Laurinaitis was voluntarily dismissed from the case with prejudice, meaning the claims against him cannot be refiled.

Following the development, POST Wrestling also obtained a new statement from Vince McMahon’s attorney, Jessica Rosenberg, who said:

“Today’s dismissal of John Laurinaitis as a defendant doesn’t change the facts of this case. Vince McMahon never mistreated Janel Grant. Regardless of how many press releases her team issues, the truth remains the same. As Mr. Laurinaitis’s attorney has already stated: ‘Mr. Laurinaitis corroborates Mr. McMahon in publicly declaring that Ms. Grant’s allegations of sexual abuse and coercion in her Complaint are completely unfounded.’”

Janel Grant initially filed the lawsuit in January 2024.
