Edwards Brennan, the attorney of former WWE executive John Laurinaitis, issued a statement to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics:
Defendant John Laurinaitis, by and through his undersigned attorneys, respectfully moves this Court for an order compelling arbitration of this matter pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 3, 4, for the reasons set forth more fully in Defendant Vincent K. McMahon’s Motion to Compel Arbitration (Doc. 30) and Defendant McMahon’s Memorandum of Law in Support of Motion to Compel Arbitration (Doc. 30-1) which legal arguments advanced therein are adopted in full and joined by Defendant Laurinaitis as though set forth herein. Defendant Laurinaitis further moves the Court for such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper and seeks leave to advance additional and or other responses, defenses, counter-claims and or affirmative defenses to Plaintiff’s Complaint in the event the Motion to Compel Arbitration is denied
This comes as a major change in tact from Laurinaitis regarding the lawsuit against him, WWE, and Vince McMahon that was filed by Janel Grant in January with allegations of sex trafficking, emotional abuse, and sexual assault.
In a previous statement, Brennan had asserted that Laurinaitis was a victim like Grant.
