Former WWE and UFC superstar Brock Lesnar has been explicitly named in an amended lawsuit against former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, adding another layer to the already complex legal battle involving allegations of s*x trafficking and abuse.
The updated 104-page complaint, filed on January 31, 2025, by former WWE employee Janel Grant, introduces new evidence and allegations that directly implicate Lesnar in the ongoing case. According to the lawsuit, McMahon allegedly offered Grant to Lesnar as part of contract negotiations to facilitate his return to WWE.
Court documents reveal that McMahon reportedly instructed Grant to create explicit s*xual content for Lesnar and arranged a meeting between them in Connecticut. The amended filing includes previously undisclosed evidence, such as emails, text messages, and voice recordings that support these claims.
According to the updated document, McMahon allegedly informed Grant that Lesnar would be their next “playmate” and directed her to “create personalized s*xual content” for the wrestler.
On July 21, 2021, “McMahon flew and/or caused Lesnar to fly on a jet into a local airport and travel into Connecticut (across state lines) for what McMahon described to Ms. Grant as a ‘business dinner,’ as well as a s*xual encounter with Ms. Grant in McMahon’s condo,” per the amended complaint. Lesnar and Grant did not have a “s*xual encounter” that day, however, “because he was too int*xicated and taken back to the plane,” the complaint claims.
The complaint alleges that, McMahon gave Grant’s personal phone number to Lesnar and “promised ‘she’ll do anything’ requested of her.” In the days that followed, Lesnar allegedly “tested” this promise by requesting that she send a video of herself peeing.
McMahon also “actively attempted to organize a s*xual encounter” between Grant and Lesnar, the complaint alleges. Newly included text messages appears to corroborate this, with McMahon allegedly texting things like, “U have to take a flight to Greenville South Carolina this Monday. Even if it’s just to C Brock.”
The revelations come in the wake of McMahon’s resignation as Executive Chairman of TKO Group Holdings, WWE and UFC’s parent company, in January 2024, following the initial filing of the lawsuit. Grant’s legal team contends that McMahon treated her as a “commodity” for s*xual exploitation.
Lesnar, who has not appeared in WWE since SummerSlam 2023, has been notably absent from the company’s promotional materials, suggesting a deliberate distance between the organization and the former champion. During his illustrious career, Lesnar held the WWE Championship seven times and the Universal Championship three times, establishing himself as one of the most dominant performers in professional wrestling history.
His success extended beyond WWE, as he captured the UFC Heavyweight Championship in just his fourth professional bout by defeating Randy Couture, becoming one of the organization’s biggest pay-per-view attractions despite facing health challenges during his career.
The lawsuit continues to expose troubling allegations about the workplace culture under McMahon’s leadership, with the latest amendments adding substantial weight to the existing legal proceedings against the former WWE CEO.
