Attorneys for Vince McMahon, WWE, and accuser Janel Grant file a joint motion seeking to adjourn a scheduled hearing. The motion comes as the parties discuss moving the dispute into confidential arbitration rather than proceeding through the public court process.
Both outlets report that the latest request pauses the proceedings while the involved parties consider an alternative resolution mechanism. Under the proposal discussed, the case could be handled through private arbitration, which typically involves less public disclosure than litigation and may lead to settlement without a trial.
The filings do not indicate that arbitration has been finalized, but they signal that the parties are exploring whether the matter can be resolved outside court. The underlying lawsuit remains part of the court record, while the adjournment would delay the next scheduled steps associated with the hearing.
The reports focus on the procedural development and the possibility of the case being diverted from trial.
