Brock Lesnar has been named as the previously anonymous “WWE Superstar” to whom Vince McMahon allegedly attempted to traffic former employee Janel Grant. This revelation was made in January in an amendment to her lawsuit against WWE, McMahon, and former WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.
In Janel Grant’s initial lawsuit filing, she claimed “Mr. McMahon and Mr. Laurinaitis, on WWE property and using WWE funding, both engaged in sexual assault and trafficking of Ms. Grant both for their own pleasure and as a pawn to secure talent deals with prospective wrestlers they were recruiting.”
Grant also stated in the lawsuit that she was employed “in a completely undefined role, except for the understanding that she remain a sexual slave to be used and trafficked by McMahon within the WWE.”
In her amendment, Grant states, “McMahon actively requested, directed, encouraged, insisted, and ultimately conditioned Ms. Grant to create and send sexually explicit content during, but not limited to, writers’ meetings, production meetings, while running live television broadcasts in ‘gorilla position,’ and while on the corporate jet traveling both domestically and internationally.
“McMahon even knowingly solicited and received Ms. Grant’s sexually explicit content while being filmed for a global streamer. McMahon noticed when Ms. Grant did not comply with his directions and inquired or interrogated her about her creation of content.
“Even after pushing Ms. Grant out of the Company and muzzling her with an NDA, McMahon continued efforts to exploit her, including attempting to traffic her to a WWE star Brock Lesnar who would be in New York City for a live event and TV taping in March.”
The lawsuit also claims that “in or about September 2020, McMahon instructed Ms. Grant to create customized [adult] content for producer Michael Hayes and his crew.”

Grant also claims in July 2021 that McMahon flew Lesnar on a jet to a local airport in Connecticut for what he allegedly described to her as a “business dinner” as well as a sexual encounter with the former UFC champion at his condo. The dinner was allegedly set up to discuss Lesnar’s continued employment with WWE and Grant claims he made a brief visit to her building but ultimately didn’t return for the sexual encounter because he was allegedly “too intoxicated and taken back to the plane.”
Grant then claims that McMahon allegedly attempted to “salvage the night” with a role playing sexual encounter where he pretended he was Lesnar. Grant claims McMahon was so physically rough with her during this alleged encounter that she begged him to stop while crying “help” and “I’m scared.”
It goes on to claim Vince McMahon directed her to create “personalized sexual content” for Brock Lesnar, and gave Grant’s personal cell phone number to him with the promise that “she’ll do anything.” Grant claims that Lesnar put that to the test by asking her to send a video of herself urinating. He then set up “a play date” for himself and Grant that would coincide an appearance he had scheduled at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn. She says she used a snowstorm and the pandemic as an excuse to back out of the encounter.
Vince McMahon’s attorney, Jessica Rosenberg, responded to the new claims with a statement that read, “As expected, the proposed amended complaint is nothing more than the latest publicity stunt in an ongoing smear campaign. It is filled with desperate falsehoods from a team that continues to disregard the law and the truth.”
