Roman Reigns Calls Vince McMahon Allegations a “Stain” on WWE

In January 2024, former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis, accusing them of sexual assault and sex trafficking. The serious nature of the claims led to McMahon stepping down from his executive position at both TKO and WWE, and now Roman Reigns has made it clear that the allegations against McMahon are a stain on WWE.

While speaking in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Roman Reigns said the situation is deeply embarrassing and not something anyone would want their family to be exposed to.

Roman Reigns referred to the allegations as a stain on WWE and expressed sympathy for Janel Grant, acknowledging the difficult circumstances she’s endured and hoping that she now feels safe and secure.

“It’s embarrassing. That’s stuff you don’t want to hear about. You don’t want your family to hear about. She’s got to live with all these situations that happened, and hopefully she’s in a place where she feels comfortable and she’s secure in her own place.”

The lawsuit against Vince McMahon has hurt WWE’s reputation and raised concerns about the company’s culture. Even though McMahon denies the allegations, the legal case is still ongoing and getting a lot of media attention.

Roman Reigns’ comments are important because he’s WWE’s biggest star and doesn’t usually talk about backstage issues. His words show that WWE talent are becoming more aware that accountability and honesty are important, especially when serious allegations are involved. Therefore, we’ll have to wait and see how McMahon’s lawsuit will proceed in the coming months.
