Janel Grant Identifies Brock Lesnar in Lawsuit Against WWE
In a recent update to the federal lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against WWE and former executive Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar has been identified.
The amended complaint, filed Friday in U.S. District Court, identifies Lesnar as the person to whom McMahon allegedly offered Grant to have a sexual relationship in 2021. Although the original lawsuit mentioned a star wrestler, it did not reveal his name.
It should be noted that Lesnar is not listed as a defendant in the lawsuit.
As expected, the amended complaint is nothing more than the latest publicity stunt in an ongoing smear campaign. It is filled with desperate falsehoods from a team that continues to ignore the law and the truth.

Grant, who worked in the company’s legal and talent departments, alleges that McMahon forced her to have a sexual relationship to keep her job. According to the lawsuit, McMahon demanded that she create “personalized sexual content” for Lesnar in July 2021, at a time when McMahon was trying to keep Lesnar under contract with WWE. It is also alleged that McMahon took Lesnar to Connecticut in 2021 for a sexual encounter, which ultimately did not happen.
The amended complaint also indicates that McMahon required Grant to create “personalized pornographic content” for longtime producer Michael Hayes.
McMahon, who resigned as WWE CEO in 2022 amid investigations similar to those in the lawsuit, has denied the allegations. Neither Lesnar nor Hayes have publicly commented on the amended lawsuit.
Grant is seeking unspecified monetary compensation. Lesnar, who also competed in the UFC primarily from 2008 to 2011, has not appeared in WWE since 2023.
