Former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon recieved some positive legal news on Thursday.

In July of this year, McMahon allegedly caused an accident that damaged his car and two others in Westport, Connecticut. Neither McMahon nor anyone else was injured in the crash.

On Thursday, McMahon appeared in court for a hearing in which he was looking to enter a pretrial program in this reckless driving case. According to the Orlando Sentinel McMahon was granted access to the pretrial program, but with certain conditions.

The ruling declares that McMahon must drive properly insured and licensed moving forward, while also requiring a donation of $1,000 to charity. If both those demands are met, McMahon would be allowed to enter the program and both charges would be dropped. Per the report, McMahon did not speak while in court.

This reckless driving incident is only the tip of the iceberg for Vince McMahon when it comes to his legal troubles as he is still involved in two other — more serious — lawsuits.

First, former WWE employee Janel Grant has alleged that McMahon sexually assaulted and trafficked her while she worked for the company. McMahon has denied the allegations.

McMahon is also involved in a lawsuit by former WWE shareholders. The suit alleges that McMahon acted in his own benefit when he sold the company to Endeavor and didn't open WWE up to multiple bidders — all in an effort to maintain his power inside of WWE.

Nick Khan, Paul Levesque, and other former WWE executives have also been named in the suit.

Two weeks ago, it was reported that two former McMahon assistants were subpoenaed for documents.

McMahon abruptly retired from WWE in 2022 as the WWE Board of Directors was investigating alleged payments made by McMahon to women with whom he had alleged affairs. McMahon returned to the company in 2023 to help facilitate the sale of WWE Endeavor.

When UFC and WWE merged to become TKO Group, McMahon became the Executive Chairman of the holding company. Soon after, McMahon resigned from that post due to the sexual assault allegations made in the Grant lawsuit.
