(NEWSnet/AP) — Federal law enforcement agents executed a search warrant and served a federal grand jury subpoena to WWE Executive Chairman Vince McMahon in July, according to a regulatory filing.

McMahon also is taking medical leave from the sports entertainment company following recent spinal surgery.

WWE said in the filing, with Securities and Exchange Commission, that government investigations into McMahon are ongoing, but no charges have been filed.

The company said it has received voluntary and compulsory legal demands for documents, including from federal law enforcement and regulatory agencies, regarding the investigation and related topics.

In 2022, The Wall Street Journal reported WWE was investigating an alleged $3 million payment from McMahon to a departing female employee, following a consensual affair. WWE's investigation into the misconduct allegations was completed in November.

CEO Nick Khan on Wednesday said McMahon had major spinal surgery nearly two weeks ago and is taking the leave to focus on his recovery. Khan  did not specify duration of the leave.
