Last month, Janel Grant sued Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE, which caused huge controversy. McMahon and Laurinaitis denied the allegations. Laurinaitis’ attorney stated that he was a victim of McMahon.
Cody Rhodes, Triple H, Seth Rollins, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, and Bruce Prichard recently expressed their thoughts about the disturbing lawsuit.
In an interview with Sunday Night’s Main Event, Matt Riddle was asked about Janel Grant’s lawsuit. Riddle said that he wasn’t the person allegedly mentioned in the lawsuit. He said that McMahon was a “maniac.”
“Well, people say that [being surprised], and granted, I had no idea of anything going on. I don’t even politic my own matches. I show up and do my job. Honestly, if you watch any of his work from in-ring performances, the things he said and did logic would tell you alone. Especially me personally, all the good wrestlers that play good characters—that’s them. It might be turned up by ten or 100, but that’s them. When I see Vince do all the things he’s done from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, I was not surprised. Some of it, a little, but yeah, the guy is a billionaire [who] owns a company. He’s done it all, seen it all, and wants to do more and see more. I don’t know. I’m not a billionaire. Yeah, I wasn’t the dude (mentioned in the lawsuit) Brock [Lesnar] was the dude he was talking to. It wasn’t me. So yeah, I really have no comment other than that. I’m not surprised. I hear people say they’re surprised. I’m not surprised. The guy was a maniac.”
