🎧 Listen to the full episode on Wrestlenomics


Janel Grant allegations

In June 2021, I was raped on a table by Vince and Johnny during work hours while colleagues worked on the other side of the door. I was left to clean up after my own rape.

John Pollock

Brock Lesnar/Sex trafficking allegations

In July 2021, I was directed to create personalized explicit content for Brock which I sent to Vince's cell phone... Vince is the facilitator in this and constantly is wanting whatever material is sent to Brock to be sent to him.

Brandon Thurston

Brock Lesnar/Vince McMahon allegations

He made a bet with Brock about who could physically rip me open the farthest.

John Pollock

Janel Grant affidavit

This is written in the first person. She is signing it. This is a sworn affidavit... it's like what I imagine maybe a book written by her would look like with some legal support.

Brandon Thurston

Nick Khan/WWE management

In hindsight, I view Nick's arrival as the moment that my life changed for the worse. My fears about reporting the abuse were realized when I learned from Vince that he put the company's new president essentially his second in command on notice of his ongoing sexual conduct with me.

Brandon Thurston

NDA arbitration clause

I signed the NDA on January 28, 2022 to avoid the global public humiliation that Vince threatened. I have no memories of the arbitration clause. I do not remember discussing it with either Vince or my attorney.

Brandon Thurston

WWE NDA practices

Vince replied that no one would see it because these agreements do not go through the legal department. He said paperwork will go to K&L Gates, Jerry McDevitt's law firm, where it will be put into a dusty drawer along with 'the others'.

John Pollock

Brian Nurse termination

I understood this to mean that the general counsel had identified Vince's conduct with me as a liability to the executive office and was subsequently terminated.

John Pollock

Psychological evaluation of Janel Grant

It's my professional and expert opinion to a reasonable degree of psychological certainty that Ms. Grant's description and allegations of abuse... are consistent with a pattern of severe coercive control.

Brandon Thurston

WrestleMania ticket sales

WrestleMania night one is now at 38,381; night two 40,003. If we compare this to this exact same week last year, they are down 19% from last year's pace.
