WWE Board Investigating ‘Secret’ Vince McMahon Settlement, per Report

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the WWE board is investigating a multimillion dollar settlement chief executive Vince McMahon agreed to pay a now-former employee he was having an affair with.

The employee was hired as a paralegal in 2019, and the separation agreement dated January ’22 states she cannot disparage him or discuss their relationship. The investigation was reportedly launched in April, and per WSJ, the probe has “unearthed other, older nondisclosure agreements involving claims by former female WWE employees of misconduct” by McMahon and head of talent relations, John Laurinaitis.
