WWE President Nick Khan and COO Brad Blum have been identified as the ‘corporate officers’ named in the sex-trafficking lawsuit against former company chairman Vince McMahon in a bombshell new report.

The federal lawsuit, filed in January by former company employee Janel Grant, accuses Khan and Blum of being “partners in a scheme” in which Grant was employed “in a completely undefined role.”

The lawsuit alleges that the only understanding given to Grant was that “she remains a sexual slave to be used and traded by McMahon within WWE,” per Front Office Sports.

Also accused of sex trafficking in the lawsuit is former WWE wrestler and executive John Laurinaitis.

Blum and Khan have not been accused of any sexual misconduct in the lawsuit. Instead, the WWE duo is accused of being complicit in McMahon and Laurinaitis’ actions, which could make the company liable under federal anti-trafficking laws.

WWE is now owned by TKO, which also owns the UFC, as the martial arts companies are under the same banner for the first time.

Khan joined WWE under McMahon in 2020 and was a key player in securing the company’s new $5 billion television deal with Netflix.

Blum has been with the promotion since 2006 and has held various leadership roles in the company throughout.

The two other ‘corporate officers’ named in the lawsuit are McMahon’s daughter and former WWE executive Stephanie McMahon and another executive, Brian Nurse.

In a statement to Mail Sport, lawyer for Janel Grant, Ann Callis, said: ‘Yes, I can confirm that these names are correct.’

Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, Stephanie’s husband who currently serves as WWE’s chief creative officer and CCO, is not named in the lawsuit.

“WWE takes Ms. Grant’s allegations very seriously and has zero tolerance for physical abuse or unwanted physical contact,” a WWE spokesperson said in a statement to Front Office Sports.

‘Neither Nick Khan nor Brad Blum, prior to the filing of the lawsuit on January 25, 2024, was aware of any allegation made by Ms. Grant that she was the victim of abuse or unwanted physical contact; nor does the complaint allege that either had knowledge of such,’ WWE’s statement continued.

Attorneys for McMahon and Laurinaitis have denied Grant’s claims.
