Roman Reigns comments on Vince McMahon allegations, expresses sympathy for Janel Grant

While speaking with Vanity Fair ahead of WrestleMania, Roman Reigns commented on the allegations made against Vince McMahon and expressed sympathy for McMahon’s accuser Janel Grant.

Grant filed a lawsuit in January 2024 accusing McMahon of physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking. The lawsuit, which also names WWE and John Laurinaitis as defendants, remains ongoing. McMahon maintains his innocence but is no longer with WWE or its parent company TKO Group after resigning in the wake of the lawsuit.

Reigns (Joe Anoa’i) told Vanity Fair that McMahon’s alleged behavior is embarrassing, and he hopes Grant is in a place where she feels comfortable and secure.

Vanity Fair wrote:

Anoa’i tells me that the allegations from Grant are a stain on WWE. ‘She’s got to live with all these situations that happened and hopefully she’s in a place where she feels comfortable and she’s secure in her own place,’ he says of Grant. ‘It’s embarrassing. That’s stuff you don’t want to hear about. You don’t want your family to hear about.’ Anoa’i says McMahon reached out last year to wish him a happy birthday, but the former CEO and chairman has, by all accounts, completely removed himself from WWE affairs.

Elsewhere in the Vanity Fair story, Reigns revealed that his WWE contract is set to expire after WrestleMania 42 in 2026. Reigns said that he probably will only wrestle “another year or two max” after that.

Reigns will be in one of the main events of WrestleMania 41 this weekend with his triple threat match against CM Punk and Seth Rollins set to headline night one on Saturday.
