About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of Janel Grant's accusations on the TKO merger of Zuffa and WWE, focusing on the shareholders' lawsuit and the legal documents revealed.
Are Janel Grant and her accusations ultimately responsible for the TKO merger of Zuffa and WWE? That appears to be at the heart of the case made by the plaintiffs in the TKO Shareholders' lawsuit. Documents made public for the first time offer insight into events surrounding the merger and the opening arguments for attorneys representing WWE shareholders. While the trial that was scheduled to start Monday is now off the calendar, thousands of pages of depositions, text conversations, and other documents unsealed before trial offer a window into how the deal allegedly came together. Jim Valley will try to explain why the WWE shareholders' lawsuit is or was about more about behavior than numbers, stocks and balance sheets.
