Former multi-time WWE champion Brock Lesnar has been named in a federal lawsuit against former company chairman Vince McMahon, alleging sexual misconduct in 2021 by the billionaire wrestling and entertainment mogul. Lesnar is not named as a defendant in the suit.

Former WWE employee Janel Grant, who filed the suit in January 2024, amended that U.S. District Court claim to include Lesnar by name. The new information alleges that McMahon told Grant to create “personalized sexual content” in July 2021 with the aim of sharing it with Lesnar in order to keep him under contract with WWE. Grant also alleged that McMahon flew Lesnar to Connecticut for a sexual encounter that ultimately did not occur.

In addition to making explicit content geared toward keeping Lesnar under contract, McMahon is also accused of demanding Grant do the same thing for WWE producer Michael Hayes — also known as Dok Hendrix during his days in the ring. Lesnar has not been seen on WWE television programming since the end of 2023, while Hendrix is still currently employed backstage with the company.

When the lawsuit was first filed in January 2024, McMahon stepped down from the board of TKO, which acquired WWE in September 2023 and made the former chairman a member of the board.

In January of this year, McMahon settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a $400,000 civil penalty over a failure to disclose to settlement agreements for $10.5 million in hush money to two women to not reveal potential claims of sexual assault against him.

The news comes amid a current boom of success for WWE, which just produced its highest-grossing Royal Rumble premium live event in company history.
