Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal dropped its latest bombshell report detailing allegations against Vince McMahon by a former WWE employee, Janel Grant. Grant alleges that McMahon groomed her to be sex trafficked and eventually pimped her out to fellow WWE executives, like John Laurinitis, and dangled sex with her to WWE stars, like Brock Lesnar. The entire story is very tough to read and came just days before one of WWE’s biggest premium live events of the year, the WWE Royal Rumble.
At the WWE Royal Rumble media junket earlier today, I had the chance to ask WWE star Nia Jax about the allegations against McMahon and how it has affected her mentality heading into the weekend.
“Oh, it doesn’t, you know, I’m all business,” she began. “And, you know, this business is built on hard work and dedication, and that’s what every single wrestler in this room is doing right now, and so we just move forward. And it’s, you know, and we’re gonna put on an amazing show.”
Following tomorrow night’s WWE Royal Rumble premium live event, a press conference is expected, with WWE COO Paul “Triple H” Levesque likely to speak. More questions regarding the allegations against McMahon and the general culture of WWE will be asked then. I will be present at the press conference representing Haus of Wrestling.
Nia Jax is currently one of six stars announced for the women’s WWE Royal Rumble match tomorrow night. The others are Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Maxxine Dupri, Bayley, and Ivy Nile.
We will be releasing our full Haus of Wrestling 2024 WWE Royal Rumble interview with Jax next week.
