Vince McMahon Allegedly Furious Over John Laurinaitis’ Cooperation in Trafficking Lawsuit

John Laurinaitis may be out of Janel Grant’s sex trafficking lawsuit on paper, but behind the scenes, Vince McMahon is reportedly fuming.

A new update from Wrestling Outlaws host Chris Featherstone revealed that McMahon is deeply frustrated with Laurinaitis after his legal departure from the case and decision to cooperate with Grant’s legal team. According to Featherstone, he received a private text message from someone close to McMahon detailing Vince’s reaction to the legal developments.

“It said that it all depends on the civil case with Grant. He does not want to hurt his baby, and privately, he’s been consulting with ideas and advice.”

But it wasn’t just strategy—there’s personal betrayal in the mix.

“Another part of the text that I got was, um, he was upset about Laurinaitis’ betrayal and as far as the civil case and the confidential agreement that was violated.”

Featherstone mentioned that the source of the message has a “direct relationship with Vince McMahon,” further backing the credibility of the claim.

“There’s a lot more, but at the same time it says Vince has a lot of powerful people on his side.”

Laurinaitis, who was once named as a co-defendant in the lawsuit, was officially dismissed from the case with prejudice by Judge Sarah F. Russell on May 30. He’s now a cooperating witness, with both sides confirming in a joint statement that he has agreed to provide evidence against McMahon and WWE.

While McMahon and WWE are fighting to push the lawsuit into arbitration, citing Grant’s 2022 NDA, the federal court has allowed limited discovery to proceed. The deadline for WWE and McMahon to file their motion is June 13.

Vince McMahon may no longer be running WWE, but if these messages are true, he’s still very much invested—and he’s not happy about how this is playing out.
