Vince McMahon sex trafficking lawsuit: WWE issues statement as identifies four unnamed parties reportedly confirmed

In the lawsuit filed on January 25, Vince McMahon, WWE and John Laurinaitis were named as defendants. 
There were also several unnamed parties throughout the lawsuit, with a high-profile example being ‘WWE Superstar’, who was reported by the Wall Street Journal as being Brock Lesnar.
Other instances of this included ‘WWE Corporate Officer No. 1’, ‘WWE Corporate Officer No. 2’, ‘WWE Corporate Officer No. 3’, and ‘WWE Corporate Officer No. 4’.

Now, a report by Tim Marchman, Brandon Thurston and John Pollock for Front Office Sports has reportedly confirmed the identities of those four parties.
Their story lists Corporate Officer No. 1 as Nick Khan, 2 as Brad Blum, 3 as Stephanie McMahon, and 4 as Brian Nurse.

They write:
Front Office Sports independently identified Khan and Blum, as well as the two other anonymous corporate officers to whom the suit refers, by cross-checking the details of the suit against publicly available records like online résumés and corporate filings, as well as information provided by sources familiar with WWE. (Corporate Officer No. 1 is said in the suit, for example, to have maintained a fourth-floor office at the company’s former headquarters, which a person who worked there confirmed was true of Khan.) FOS then asked Grant’s lawyer, Ann Callis, whether its reporting was accurate.
“I can confirm that these names are correct,” she said.

Regarding specifically Khan and Blum, WWE issued the following statement:
“WWE takes Ms. Grant’s allegations very seriously and has no tolerance for any physical abuse or unwanted physical contact.
“Neither Nick Khan nor Brad Blum, prior to the lawsuit being filed on January 25, 2024, were aware of any allegation by Ms. Grant that she was the victim of abuse or unwanted physical contact; nor does the complaint allege that either had knowledge of such.”

The article also notes:
Stephanie McMahon did not respond to questions sent via overnight letter to a postal box she is said to control and through a direct message to a social media account she controls. WWE declined to provide contact information for a lawyer or representative through which FOS could reach her.

It also states:
Nurse did not respond to a direct message sent to a social media account he controls or to a request for comment sent to his work email address; a spokesperson for his current employer did not respond to an email asking to be put in touch with him. WWE declined to comment on the terms on which he left the company.
