SUMMARY
- The Heartbreak Kid recently addressed Janel Grant’s accusations against Mr. McMahon.
- Following his comments on the suit, Brutus Beefcake's past allegations have been circulating on the internet.
On January 25, the life of WWE’s former CEO, Vince McMahon, took a sudden turn as Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against him. But it seems that the saga isn’t ending anytime soon, as regularly newer controversies are emerging. In a similar fashion, Shawn Michaels has also been put into controversy amid the s*x trafficking allegations against Vincent.
The Heartbreak Kid recently addressed Janel Grant’s accusations against Mr. McMahon, but it has in fact put him in jeopardy. In a surprising turn of events, shortly after he shared his opinion on the ongoing lawsuit controversy, Brutus Beefcake’s allegations against Michaels and his former tag team partner Marty Jannetty have resurfaced.
The reason why the old allegations have come to the limelight once again is an X post by a retired female pro wrestler. It’s none other than former WWF performer Missy Hyatt who mentioned a “Born Again” wrestler to make some serious allegations, and fans wonder if she’s referring to the legendary in-ring star.

Even though Hyatt hasn’t mentioned any name, fans feel it’s a dig at the 3-time WWE Champion. As HBK is often referred to as a born-again, a lot of people have been asking if she’s really talking about him. It must be noted that Brutus’ past allegations were that Michaels and Marty Jannetty used to h-bomb female fans.
In fact, they claimed that he and Jannetty got into trouble in hotels due to even more controversial things, but nothing has been proven. So, this matter coming to the limelight again after Shawn’s comments about the Vince McMahon lawsuit is quite surprising.
What did Shawn Michaels say about the allegations against Vince McMahon?
Past rumors about Shawn Michaels may have resurfaced, but a lot of people are still wondering what he said about the s*x trafficking allegations against Mr. McMahon. In his address to the whole lawsuit saga, “Michaels says the Vince McMahon situation is a “sad situation.”
On the #WWENXT call for Vengeance Day, Shawn Michaels calls the Vince McMahon allegations an “incredibly sad situation.” He notes he has virtually nothing to do with the corporate side. He feels they foster a safe and supportive atmosphere in NXT. #WWE

The Heartbreak Kid added that he believes in fostering a safe environment in the yellow brand & supporting the talent with a safe workplace. In fact, he added that they feel they do a fantastic job with it. Even though Shawn addressed the Vincent Kennedy questions pretty sensibly, his past has still taken him into controversy.
Why do fans feel that Missy Hyatt took a dig at The Heartbreak Kid?
As Hyatt used the “Born Again” term in her recent Twitter post, a lot of people wondered if she’s referring to The Heartbreak Kid. The reason behind this is that Shawn Michaels has admitted himself to being a born-again Christian on numerous occasions over the years.
The 3-time WWE Champion dedicated his life to Jesus, and after seeing positive changes in himself, Shawn became a born-again Christian. The 58-year-old even mentioned his fight against demons in his book, Wrestling for My Life.
Due to this, fans have been thinking that Missy probably talked about Michaels in her tweet, and they’ve even been talking about the same on X. Someone from the WWE universe wrote, “Can’t remember what shoot video it was but I remember one laughing about something very similar and he said HBK was doing it all the time.”
Looking at such comments, it seems fans are sure that Shawn is the one Hyatt was referring to, but it can’t be estimated from a nickname. To get clarification on the entire matter, we’ll probably have to wait a bit longer, as only a new tweet by the 60-year-old star can give confirmation about who she was talking about in her post. Additionally, will the WWE legend clear the rumors? Only the future knows.
