WWE era ends: Vince McMahon throws himself after scandal – Lesnar also absent?

As a result, McMahon had paid a total of $12 million in secret money to four former female subordinates over the past 16 years to cover up sexual affairs and assaults. The most serious charge: an alleged sexual assault against a wrestler in 2005, whom he allegedly forced to perform oral sex. In 2018, a year after the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke in Hollywood and the birth of the #MeToo movement, McMahon reportedly paid the wrestler $7.5 million not to go public with the allegations.
