On June 27, the Connecticut Superior Court ruled in favor of Janel Grant and her bill of discovery in her case against Dr. Carlon Colker, a physican on former WWE CEO Vince McMahon's payroll, and the clinic owned by Colker, Peak Wellness.
Judge Colleen Zingaro ordered the parties to submit scheduling order proposals, which include setting a timeline and deadlines. This order means that Grant’s team can continue to seek the medical records as they pertain to her treatment. Grant’s team has said that Colker and Peak Wellness have withheld information regarding Grant’s treatment and provided incomplete information. For these reasons, Grant’s team filed a bill of discovery in order to receive all information relevant to her.
Here's the ruling from Judge Colleen Zingaro.

A judge accepted Grant’s amended lawsuit against Vince and WWE in February. The amended lawsuit included more examples of assault that Grant says happened at the hands of McMahon and John Laurinaitis. It was also formally announced that Brock Lesnar was the WWE Superstar that McMahon offered Grant if he re-signed with the company. The amended lawsuit also alleges that Linda discovered Vince’s relationship with Grant, and Grant was subsequently fired.
In May, Lauriaitis was voluntarily dismissed from Grant’s lawsuit when he agreed to cooperate with her team. In a joint statement from representatives of Laurinaitis and Grant, it stated that Laurinaitis had agreed to cooperate and provide evidence in Grant’s lawsuit against Vince and WWE.
In late June, Grant’s team asked for communications and documents between Colker and Linda McMahon in relation to her lawsuit against Vince and WWE as part of a discovery request. In a statement to B.J. Bethel of SEScoops, Grant’s representatives said, “WWE and McMahon had the opportunity to voluntarily provide discovery, and they refused. They claim the NDA and its arbitration clause are enforceable, but resist any attempts to investigate whether Ms. Grant was coerced into signing it—facts that go to the heart of its enforceability. They can’t have it both ways. Today, we asked the Court to allow that discovery to proceed. Ms. Grant deserves to have the facts about her case.”
On June 30, attorneys for Vince and WWE filed a motion of opposition to Grant’s request for discovery. The counsel for WWE asked to make an oral argument. The motion of opposition was expected as Vince and WWE had until July 11 to file a response.
The McMahons and WWE, along with TKO Holdings, are currently facing a lawsuit involving eight former “Ring Boys”, who say they failed to protect them from and knew or should have known that they were being sexually abused by ring announcer, Mel Phillips. Some of the men allege they were abused by Terry Garvin and/or Pat Patterson. Vince is facing a lawsuit from former WWE shareholders related to the sale of WWE to Endeavor and the formation of TKO Holdings.
