Here's what Janel Grant's lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon alleges about Brock Lesnar. (These pages contain detailed descriptions of alleged sexual abuse by McMahon and what Grant says was his attempt to traffic her to Lesnar during a contract negotiation.)

I respect everyone has different goals in wrestling media but we get to ask only a few questions per month to WWE EVP Paul Levesque and rarely have access to any other executive. A sex trafficking lawsuit was filed a few days ago against 3 parties: Vince McMahon, John

All the nice things you'll hear are true. Out of the blue Brodie asked me if he could come out for a night of training. He was stuck at home with a wrist injury. A WWE wrestler at an independent school is pretty rare. Nobody paid anything extra. He just wanted to help.
