A federal judge has paused a lawsuit against Linda McMahon, the former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) executive and prospective head of the U.S. Department of Education.
The lawsuit alleges that McMahon and her husband, Vince McMahon—former leaders of WWE during its rise to prominence—overlooked reports that an employee sexually abused the teenage “Ring Boys” who worked on the crews that set up wrestling rings. The McMahons have firmly denied the claims.
