Vince McMahon wants to have the stay in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against him lifted.

According to a report from Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston, the former WWE Chairman recently filed a motion to lift the court-ordered stay in the lawsuit. This was agreed upon in June after Grant agreed to pause the lawsuit for six months amid a federal investigation into McMahon.

Grant has also filed a petition for records against Dr. Carlon Colker and his Peak Wellness, Inc. clinic alleging that she was sent there at Vince McMahon’s direction in November of 2019. She states that she received treatments involving pills and I.V. infusions that were not disclosed to her.

McMahon’s lawyer issued the following statement:

“Today’s motion is in response to Ms. Grant’s flagrant violation of the federal Stay Order. After telling the Federal Court that she would pause her lawsuit, Ms. Grant immediately violated the Stay Order seeking one-sided discovery for her own benefit. Her lawyer told the media that the information sought in the new Connecticut state action is ‘to assist in our claims in the federal action.’ We are asking the federal Court to ensure that Plaintiff abides by the Court’s order and if she does not that civil contempt and financial sanctions may result.”

It was added that Vince McMahon is seeking a “limited lifting of the stay to permit the filing and adjudication of his Motion to Enforce the Court’s Stay Order.”

Grant’s lawyer also issued this brief statement, “We did not violate a federal stay by filing a state action against a non-defendant.”
