Roman Reigns gives his take on Janel Grant’s sexual assault allegations against former WWE CEO Vince McMahon.
In early 2024, former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon. She accused him of sexual assault, trafficking, and emotional and physical abuse. The lawsuit led to McMahon stepping down from the boards of TKO Group Holdings.
TKO is the parent company of both WWE and UFC. In February 2025, McMahon’s lawyers responded to the updated lawsuit. They said Janel Grant’s request came too late and was made for the wrong reasons.
While talking to Vanity Fair, Roman Reigns addressed the allegations and called the situation “embarrassing” and said it’s something no one wants to hear about. “She’s got to live with all these situations that happened and hopefully she’s in a place where she feels comfortable and she’s secure in her own place,” he says of Grant. “It’s embarrassing. That’s stuff you don’t want to hear about. You don’t want your family to hear about.”
Roman Reigns shares when his current WWE contract ends
During the same interview, Roman Reigns also confirmed his current WWE contract ends after WrestleMania 42 in 2026. In addition, he hinted that he might sign one final deal with WWE before ending his in-ring career.
“After I finish the contract that I’m in, we probably got another year or two max,” Roman Reigns said. “Then it’s time to take on a less physical form of entertainment.”
Director David Leitch, who Reigns worked with on Hobbs & Shaw, believes Hollywood is one avenue, if Reigns himself wants it.
“He’s a physical specimen,” says David Leitch, the director of Hobbs & Shaw, which Reigns appeared in. “The camera loves him, the audience loves him, and the only thing standing in his way is his own ambition.”
Reigns receives a lot of scripts, but wants to be selective about roles, noting he almost wants to model his career after Quentin Tarantino’s outlook on directing movies.
