The Royal Rumble is set to air live on Saturday night and it’s been a week of big news stories for WWE. On Thursday it was revealed that a former WWE employee filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon which accuses him of sex trafficking as well as abuse.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that WWE talent was told to lay low and not talk about anything other than the Royal Rumble or storylines related to WWE programming. It was also noted that WWE did not respond to questions regarding the suit.
As previously reported TKO issued the following statement in response to the lawsuit:
“Mr. McMahon does not control TKO nor does he oversee the day-to-day operations of WWE. While this matter predates our TKO executive team’s tenure at the company, we take Ms. Grant’s horrific allegations very seriously and are addressing this matter internally.”
At this point it’s not clear if the company will be looking to make any changes regarding McMahon’s position as Executive Chairman of TKO. Stay tuned for updates.
