Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon may be kept off the WWE board amid a lawsuit filed by investor Dennis Palkon, originally filed on Jan. 26.
Palkon is suing WWE Inc. for documents about the organization’s investigation into McMahon, which claimed the 77-year-old “raped and sexually assaulted employees and contractors over the course of decades.” Additionally, The Wall Street Journal reported in July that McMahon then paid over $12 million in “hush money” over the course of 16 years to quiet sexual misconduct and infidelity allegations.
