Below are a couple of top WWE & AEW news stories of the day, featuring Janel Grant, Vince McMahon and Bryan Danielson.
• Former WWE employee Janel Grant has filed a pre-action discovery petition against Dr. Carlon Colker and his clinic, Peak Wellness, Inc. Grant alleges that, starting in November 2019, she was directed by Vince McMahon to Colker’s clinic, where she received undisclosed treatments, including pills and I.V. infusions. When Grant inquired about the pills, Colker allegedly questioned her trust in him.
Grant’s attorneys stated: “On multiple visits, Dr. Colker prescribed Ms. Grant with ‘adrenal trays’ or ‘adrenal supplement trays,’ provided by his office and instructed her to take the unmarked pills daily. Dr. Colker did not explain the substances, dosages, or purpose of the pills to Ms. Grant beyond purportedly addressing her symptoms of fatigue. When Ms. Grant asked Dr. Colker about the substance of the supplement trays, and specifically which substance(s) caused her to experience nausea, he responded with pushback about trust, including, ‘If you don’t trust me, we have bigger problems.'”
Grant seeks medical records related to a $ex trafficking lawsuit she filed against Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis. She claims the clinic’s provided records are incomplete and inaccurate. Grant also alleges that a Peak Wellness employee was involved in instances of $exual abuse by McMahon.
The federal complaint filed in January includes allegations of $exual abuse and $ex trafficking by McMahon, with WWE purportedly supporting McMahon’s relationship with Grant. The complaint describes McMahon pressuring Grant into threesomes with a physical therapist from an unnamed clinic and urging her to remain under the care of a physician anonymized as “Celebrity Doctor.”
The new filing in Connecticut alleges that Colker knew about the nondisclosure agreement between Grant and McMahon, which is central to the federal lawsuit. Grant claims Colker recommended his attorney to help negotiate the NDA with McMahon.

• Swerve Strickland is set to defend the AEW World Championship against Bryan Danielson in the main event of AEW All In 2024, taking place on Sunday, August 25, at Wembley Stadium in London, UK.
This match was arranged after Danielson’s victory over Hangman Page in the Men’s Owen Hart Cup tournament finals. Another confirmed bout for the event features Women’s Champion Toni Storm defending her title against Mariah May.
Bryan Danielson has previously stated that 2024 will mark the end of his full-time wrestling career, although he plans to continue wrestling a few matches annually as a part-timer. His current contract is also set to expire this year.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Danielson is on the verge of making history:
“Danielson, if he doesn’t get hurt before Wembley, will join only Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley and John Tenta as people who have worked Wembley Stadium, Madison Square Garden, the Tokyo Dome and Arena Mexico. The hard one is Wembley Stadium since there have only been two shows there in history.”
