The other 8 members have hired a New York City law firm to investigate the situation. Preliminary investigations show that McMahon made the payment using his own ‘personal funds’. As for WWE, the company has said that they are fully cooperating with the investigation and claimed that the relationship with the woman was consensual.
This is not the WWE’s first rodeo, as they’ve been accused of pedophilia, using child workers and more over the years. While there have been lawsuits filed against the company, nothing has been able to bring it down and show the world what’s really going on.
In the 1990s, there was an investigation done by journalists into the WWE’s potential involvement in pedophilia and more lude acts by Vince that were seemingly swept under the rug.
This has been going on for decades, and with more stories like this coming out, it looks like the WWE’s days could be numbered. There are plenty of things being hidden, when will it come out?
