CNN —Vince McMahon has resigned from his role as executive chairman of TKO, the parent company of WWE, following disturbing allegations of sexual assault, trafficking and physical abuse.
In the lawsuit, Grant alleged that McMahon dangled a job offer at WWE – and later promotions – in exchange for sex.
McMahon engaged in acts of “extreme cruelty and degradation” toward Grant during her time at WWE, the lawsuit alleged.
He initially retired from his role as CEO and chairman of WWE in July 2022 amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
The investigation was closed in November 2022 and McMahon returned to WWE’s board in January 2023.
