Ms Grant alleges Mr McMahon pressured her into resigning from WWE and signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for a lump sum of $3m (£2.5m) after his wife found out about their relationship in 2022.
NDAs, also known as “gagging orders” or “hush agreements”, are contracts between employees and companies preventing staff from making information public.
Ms Grant is asking the court to invalidate the NDA under federal law, claiming the defendants had violated the Trafficking Victims Prevention Act. She is also seeking unspecified monetary damages.

She says she was pressured into a physical relationship with the WWE chief executive in exchange for promises of employment, alleging she felt trapped “in an impossible situation… submitting to Mr McMahon’s sexual demands or facing ruin”.
He “expected and directed Ms Grant to engage in sexual activity at the WWE headquarters, even during working hours”, the case document reads.
