Grant had accused McMahon of s*x trafficking and s*xual misconduct, and the case had had formal hearings in the past, which also led to McMahon’s exit from the company he had built.However, a recent update from POST Wrestling stated that Grant had voluntarily filed to dismiss the lawsuit against McMahon and WWE, and that it has been moved to private arbitration. The case is expected to a conclusive end and that has began rumors of Vince McMahon returning to the global juggernaut.Can Vince McMahon return to WWE after Jane Grant's lawsuit was moved to private arbitration?According to multiple rumors and outlets, Vince McMahon has no intention to step away from the wrestling business for good. Should the case be resolved in private arbitration, it could potentially open the door for a WWE return for him. In 2022, when McMahon first left WWE, Dave Meltzer stated that he had been approached by a family member to step down. However, McMahon came back months later to pursue the sale of WWE, eventually closing the deal with Endeavor to form the TKO Group Holdings. So, it can be said that McMahon might return to WWE if formally cleared of all charges.How will it impact Triple H’s role post that?After Vince McMahon resigned in 2024, his son-in-law, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, took over the reins as the WWE Chief Content Officer alongside CEO Nick Khan. However, if McMahon returned to the company, there is a strong possibility that he could take over his old role and wrest creative control from Triple H to book shows as he did during his tenure.Why could Vince McMahon replace Triple H in his WWE role?Triple H has been panned by fans and critics for many creative decisions and building up of stars ever since he took over in 2024. Moreover, it has also resulted in low viewership for weekly shows and less attendance for top WWE events like WrestleMania and SummerSlam. So, if Vince McMahon does make his WWE return, the TKO board might strongly consider him to replace The Game and assume the leadership to take WWE to greater heights, like he did for four decades.Also read: 4 WWE stars who are likely to miss SummerSlam 2026 including Randy Orton and more
