Several big names have been identified as the “corporate officers” named in the sex trafficking lawsuit field against former WWE chairman Vince McMahon.

WWE president Nick Khan, co-CEO Stephanie McMahon, COO Brad Blum and former executive Brian Nurse were identified, according to the Daily Mail.

The lawsuit was filed in January by former WWE employee Janel Grant. It accuses Khan, Blum, Nurse and Stephanie McMahon, Vince’s daughter, of being “instrumental to a scheme” where Grant was employed “in a completely undefined role,” according to the Daily Mail.

Grant’s lawsuit alleges that “she remain a sexual slave to be used and trafficked by McMahon within the WWE.”

Former WWE wrestler and executive John Laurinaitis was also accused of sex trafficking.

Khan joined WWE under McMahon in 2020. Blum has been with the promotion since 2006.

In a statement to Mail Sport, attorney for Janel Grant, Ann Callis, said: “Yes, I can confirm that these names are correct.”

Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, Stephanie’s husband, who currently serves as WWE’s head of creative and CCO, was not named in any capacity in the lawsuit.

“WWE takes Ms. Grant’s allegations very seriously and has no tolerance for any physical abuse or unwanted physical contact,” a WWE spokesperson said in a statement to Front Office Sports.

“Neither Nick Khan nor Brad Blum, prior to the lawsuit being filed on January 25, 2024, were aware of any allegation by Ms. Grant that she was the victim of abuse or unwanted physical contact; nor does the complaint allege that either had knowledge of such.”

Lawyers for McMahon and Laurinaitis have denied Grant’s claims.
