Former WWE employee Janel Grant is intensifying her legal efforts against Dr. Carlon Colker, as her petition in Connecticut state court moves into a new phase. After successfully defeating Colker’s motion to dismiss last month, Grant is now urging the court to begin the discovery process immediately, seeking access to key evidence and a deposition of Colker. According to recent filings, Grant’s legal team wants the court to clarify how discovery will proceed, while Colker is pushing back, arguing that he should be allowed to continue filing motions before any evidence is turned over. The dispute centers around Grant’s claims that Colker, who runs the celebrity-frequented Peak Wellness clinic in Greenwich, Connecticut, has withheld complete medical records from her treatment there—a claim he denies.
Grant alleges she was directed to Peak Wellness by Vince McMahon and was treated with substances she was not made aware of. Colker insists all records were properly provided and that Grant was fully informed about her treatments. He also maintains that the clinic only administered a single vitamin tray, rejecting claims about unmarked pills.
Grant’s attorneys are looking to gather evidence related to communications between Colker, WWE, and Vince McMahon. Of particular interest is any travel Colker and McMahon may have taken together—especially to Tijuana, Mexico—between March 2019 and May 2022, though the filings don’t detail the reason for this request. They are also requesting footage, clinic policies, and details on the I.V. treatments Grant received.
Although no formal lawsuit has been filed against Colker yet, this pre-suit action could lead to one. Colker, meanwhile, continues to deny all wrongdoing. He claims there was no coordination with McMahon regarding Grant’s care and denies knowledge of any abuse by a clinic employee, saying he only learned about it through media coverage and that the incident occurred off-site and was described as consensual.
Separately, Colker has filed a defamation lawsuit against one of Grant’s attorneys, Ann Callis. His legal team is seeking a default judgment, arguing that the law firm Callis is affiliated with failed to respond in time. Callis and her firm have now filed a motion asking for more time.
Vince McMahon has refiled his motion to compel arbitration in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against him and WWE. In doing so, McMahon references legal precedent, including the Supreme Court’s decision in Rent-A-Center v. Jackson, to argue that any challenge must be directed at the arbitration clause itself—not just the broader contract. According to McMahon, Grant has not met that standard.
As anticipated, WWE’s legal team from Paul, Weiss has also refiled its own motion to compel arbitration in the same case.
If the court declines to send the entire lawsuit to arbitration, WWE intends to file a motion to dismiss, seeking to test the legal sufficiency of Grant’s claims. Grant has until July 11 to respond to both motions. However, she’s also permitted to request discovery specifically related to the motions, with a deadline of June 23. WWE and McMahon have until June 30 to oppose those discovery requests.
