WWE conducted its own investigation into the payments and found that payments to Grant and other women totaled $14.6 million.

Grant also claimed that she was convicted of the crime in the offices of McMahon and Laurinitis at the group's base in Stamford, Connecticut. According to Grant's allegations in court documents, the office door was locked and two men "cornered her, pulled her in the middle, and forcibly touched her." Grant said she was "begging them to stop," but they replied "no means yes" and "take it, b***."
The plaintiffs also claimed in court documents that McMahon had sent a text message that read, "Don't knock on the door because if I see you: I'll ** you in the hallway." ”
