Vince McMahon’s profile appears to have been wiped from the WWE website just hours after he resigned following extraordinary allegations of sex trafficking by a former employee.
McMahon stepped down on Friday as Executive Chairman of TKO – the company formed by Endeavor after the $21billion merger with the UFC in September.
It comes after Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against the 78-year-old billionaire, claiming – among other allegations – that he defecated on her head during a threesome.
McMahon has been the face of WWE for decades but his profile page on the company website now seems to have been taken down.
He doesn’t appears in their exhaustive list of ‘superstars’ and his profile now simply reads: ‘You are not authorized to access this page.’

McMahon denied Grant’s allegations in a statement sent to DailyMail.com.
‘I stand by my prior statement that Ms. Grant’s lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and is a vindictive distortion of the truth,’ it read.
‘I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations, and look forward to clearing my name.
‘However, out of respect for the WWE Universe, the extraordinary TKO business and its board members and shareholders, partners and constituents, and all of the employees and Superstars who helped make WWE into the global leader it is today, I have decided to resign from my executive chairmanship and the TKO board of directors, effective immediately.’
Grant, who previously agreed to a $3million settlement in exchange for signing a nondisclosure agreement in 2022, filed a new lawsuit against McMahon, the WWE and a former executive this week.

In that filing, which was obtained by DailyMail.com, Grant claims McMahon stopped making payments after the initial $1m installment, and she now seeks to void that agreement.
Furthermore, Grant claims she suffered bruising and bleeding after McMahon forcefully penetrated her with sex toys, which he named after his wrestlers.
She also alleges that McMahon and another WWE executive locked her in a room at the WWE’s Stamford, Connecticut headquarters in June of 2021 and took turns sexually assaulting her during the work day.
The married McMahon is additionally accused of trafficking Grant to other men and sharing nude photographs of the plaintiff. Grant is seeking unspecified damages.
The WWE previously described McMahon’s sexual relationship with Grant as ‘consensual’ in a 2022 statement.
