WATCH: Cody Rhodes responds to allegations about Vince McMahon's trafficking lawsuit

Vince McMahon's reputation as a business mogul has taken a serious hit as a result of the accusations made against him by Janel Grant. McMahon's reputation as a major player in the entertainment industry has been clouded by allegations of sex trafficking and sexual assault.

Janel Grant filed a complaint in January of this year, accusing Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis of significant wrongdoing including emotional abuse, sex trafficking, and sexual assault. Since then, a lot of information has surfaced. The claims date back to March 2019.

In response to a question regarding whether the WWE locker room was aware of the Janel Grant lawsuit and why it had been so silent about it, Cody Rhodes was questioned during the post-Bash in Berlin media scrum. When asked if he believed Grant’s allegations, Rhodes replied, “I don’t know enough about the information to give you a good enough answer. I’m sorry.”

According to Cody Rhodes, it has nothing to do with belief or non-belief. The wrestlers' main priority is entertaining the spectators with outstanding performances, which includes paying close attention to crafting engaging narratives and putting on exciting matches every night.

Cody retain his Championship title

Because of this, the majority of them are learning about the litigation and its outcome at the same time as the general public. Cody Rhodes noted that the quiet is a reflection of their dedication to their daily duties in WWE rather than an intentional attempt.  A federal investigation is now underway, hence the lawsuit is on hold. In any case, things do not appear good for Vince McMahon, so we will have to wait and see what happens to him in the end.

Meanwhile in his match between Kevin Owens Rhodes was able to secure the victory and the pin to Kevin Owens, keeping his Undisputed WWE Championship. Though hesitant at first, Owens finally hugged Rhodes after the game; their relationship has endured, and Owens has never betrayed his buddy. Rhodes will now go off against Solo Sikoa.
