Laurinaitis was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice.

POST Wrestling received a new statement from McMahon's attorney, Jessica Rosenberg, who sent the following:

Today’s dismissal of John Laurinaitis as a defendant doesn’t alter the facts of this case in any way. Vince McMahon never mistreated Janel Grant. No matter how many press releases her team issues, the truth remains unchanged. As Mr. Laurinaitis’s lawyer previously said: ‘Mr. Laurinaitis corroborates Mr. McMahon in publicly declaring that Ms. Grant’s allegations of sexual abuse and coercion in her Complaint are completely unfounded.’

Grant first filed the lawsuit in January 2024. As more updates become available, we'll update you here on Fightful.
