WWE’s President Nick Khan has addressed the shocking allegations surrounding Vince McMahon during a recent interview, discussing their potential impact on WWE’s partnership with Netflix.
WWE kicked off January with groundbreaking news about RAW transitioning to Netflix by 2025 but was quickly overshadowed by a lawsuit brought forward two days later by Janel Grant. The lawsuit accused Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis of heinous acts, including sexual assault and sex trafficking.
On The Town with Matthew Belloni, Nick Khan discussed the lawsuit’s implications on WWE’s newly announced Netflix deal. Khan was clear about the nature of the allegations, emphasizing their gravity (courtesy of Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for transcription).
“The allegations are horrific, to say the least, and taken with utmost seriousness by WWE, just as any other reasonable person or entity would,” Khan stated. “Their severity is reflected by the swift resignation that followed.” McMahon’s resignation was made official in a January SEC filing.
In the conversation, Khan also clarified that Netflix did not exert pressure regarding McMahon’s resignation decision. Additionally, Khan confirmed that McMahon has severed all his ties with WWE, stating, “No. Zero. He chose to resign. There was no litigation involved.”
