WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon speaks at a news conference announcing the WWE Network at the 2014 International CES in Las Vegas.
Janel Grant, a former employee of World Wrestling Entertainment who in a January lawsuit accused founder Vince McMahon of sex trafficking and abuse, has agreed to temporarily pause her case pending a federal investigation.
An attorney for McMahon maintained that the allegations against McMahon were false.
WWE and its parent company, TKO , have said that they take Grant's allegations "very seriously."
WWE had disclosed last summer that investigators served McMahon with a federal grand jury subpoena and executed a search warrant in July.
