In an unexpected turn of events, Vince McMahon, Janel Grant, and WWE filed a joint motion to continue their litigation in private arbitration, something which McMahon and WWE have been fighting for for a long time while Grant and her legal team objected to.
The motion still needs the approval of Judge Sarah F. Russell.
“The parties are in active discussions regarding a potential agreement to arbitrate the dispute in confidential arbitration that would moot those motions. They seek this relief in good faith, to avoid unnecessarily consuming the Court’s and the parties’ resources—and so they can focus on progressing the potential arbitration agreement,” the motion read. “The Parties respectfully propose that the Court temporarily adjourn the hearing and allow them to file a Joint Status Report within 21 days.”
All parties involved were scheduled to appear in court on June 16 to argue in McMahon’s case, and against, in Grant’s case, for the case to be moved to private arbitration.
If the judge approves, the case will move behind closed doors.
