As we previously reported here on eWn, Vince McMahon is being sued by Janel Grant, one of the women who received a payout during the 2022 ‘hush money’ scandal.
Grant filed a lawsuit against McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE alleging that the former WWE Chairman subjected her to sexual assault, physical and emotional abuse, sex trafficking, and more.
McMahon has denied the allegations, with a spokesperson noting that the lawsuit “is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and a vindictive distortion of the truth.”
Former WWE Superstar Lance Storm believes WWE needs to cut ties with Vince McMahon once and for all following the recent allegations.
On a recent edition of “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Storm addressed the allegations against McMahon, and you can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On WWE needing to cut ties with McMahon: “I was one of the few that said he needed to be gone when the story first broke, and I was outspoken against him being allowed back into the office, being allowed back at shows when he when he came back. When he came back, I stopped watching the product and only started seeing some of the shows out of necessity.”
On the details in the lawsuit: “That’s classic sexual predator stuff. Find someone down on their luck and start grooming them and bending them to your will. Not only should he be booted off the board, take his keys to the office away, bar him from going to shows, and I think there needs to be a legitimate cleaning house of anyone who covered anything up who knew about this.”
Storm further stated that criminal charges should be brought to the people involved if the allegations turn out to be true.
