Former WWE chairman Vince McMahon is set to pursue confidential arbitration in the lawsuit brought by Janel Grant, marking a major procedural shift in the case. The matter has now been moved out of public court, meaning the dispute is expected to continue in a private setting rather than through open courtroom proceedings.
Grant has accused McMahon of sexual assault and sex trafficking during her employment. According to the reported development, both sides agreed to settle the dispute outside the public court system, sending the case into arbitration instead of continuing with public filings and hearings.
Confidential arbitration typically keeps much of the legal process out of public view, unlike traditional court cases that can generate accessible records and regular updates. That change does not itself determine the outcome of the claims, but it does alter how the case will be handled going forward.
The move is a significant turn in a closely watched legal battle involving one of the most prominent figures in WWE history. With the case no longer proceeding in open court, further developments may emerge through a more limited and private process.
