The erstwhile WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon, is implicated in a federal investigation, which continues unabated even after he relinquished his high-ranking role at TKO.
Investigators are probing allegations surrounding improper payments amounting to millions of dollars, made to multiple women. These payments allegedly followed accusations of sexual impropriety lodged against McMahon. Former WWE headquarters staffer, Janel Grant, instigated legal proceedings against McMahon in the premiere month of 2024. Her suit claims instances of sexual trafficking, assault, and her alleged coercion into a sexual relationship, all of which purportedly involve Laurinaitis and McMahon.
Donovan Dijak, a WWE alumnus, aired his views recently stating that McMahon was virtually unreachable to the personnel of NXT, unless they were explicitly sought by him. In an interview with SportsKeeda, Dijak recounted this only happening once or maybe twice during his tenure.
Speaking on this, Dijak said, “Vince was fundamentally unreachable to NXT talent unless they were directly requested by him. In my observation, that only occurred once or twice at most.”
Despite Dijak’s noteworthy stint in NXT, his transition to the WWE’s main roster during the benchmark 2024 Draft, didn’t meet the anticipated expectations. After leaving the WWE fold, the accomplished 37-year-old fighter is now a free agent.
On the topic of McMahon, the WWE brass is bracing for unwelcome revelations regarding the former Chairman’s conduct, which could potentially form a part of the ongoing investigation.
