A motion was filed on Thursday by the legal team of Vince McMahon to lift a court-ordered stay of the lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant.
The suit filed against WWE, McMahon and John Laurinaitis was put on pause back in mid-June by judge Jeffrey Meyer after both sides agreed to do so based on a request from the Department of Justice, as a federal investigation into McMahon continues. This mean that meant the earliest the suit would resume would be December 11, 2024.
McMahon’s lawyer, Jessica Taub Rosenberg provided the following statement to Wrestlenomics on Thursday:
“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.”
