After being dropped as a defendant in the Janel Grant Case, John Laurinaitis has come out with a joint statement with Grant on the matter.

The former Head of Talent Relations agreed earlier on Wednesday to cooperate and provide evidence for Grant’s lawsuit against the WWE and Vince McMahon, according to a new filing with the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut.

“John Laurinaitis has agreed to cooperate and provide evidence in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE. His agreement to a confidential settlement is a pivotal next step toward holding McMahon and WWE accountable and bringing justice to Ms. Grant after years of sexual abuse and trafficking. Mr. Laurinaitis looks forward to moving on with his life. We cannot provide any additional details at this time.”

The defendants are expecting to file motions to move this case into private arbitration by June 13th but Grant will be allowed to request discovery relating to whether the arbitration clause that was part of the $3 million nondisclosure agreement will be enforced.
