Bruce Prichard can't comment on WWE lawsuit.
On January 25, a lawsuit was filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon, WWE and former executive John Laurinaitis. The lawsuit accuses McMahon of sex trafficking, emotional abuse, and sexual assault. The lawsuit recounts incidents that began in March 2019 when the two met, to March 2022.
Bruce Prichard has been back with WWE since February 2019 and has worked as the executive director since October 2019.
Speaking on Something To Wrestle, the lawsuit against McMahon and WWE was brought up and Prichard was given the floor to comment.
"As far as lawsuits and things of that nature, I'm not at liberty to discuss any legal matters of the company whatsoever. To that, there is nothing that I can say. There can't be a response from the legal standpoint. You can ask until you're blue in the face, and that's going to be your answer. I'm not involved, I'm not being sued, I'm not being accused of anything. It's a legal matter. Sometimes, it is as simple as, for those who believe, the explanation is needed; for those that don't, no explanation will do. That's kind of where we are. Let the rest of it sit in the hands of the fine legal system we have here in the United States of America.
"No one told me not to do anything on the podcast other than the simple fact that I work for a company that is involved in a lawsuit right now. I can't comment. Folks, if you work at a large company and your large company is being sued, there is very little you can say about it. If you do, that's a good way for you to lose your job."
McMahon has denied the allegations.
