While they have continued to distance themselves from McMahon since he resigned in January, WWE isn’t in the clear as Dreamer suggested. The promotion is still listed as one of three co-defendants Grant is suing, and current and former executives such as Nick Khan and Stephanie McMahon have been named in the lawsuit as being aware of McMahon and Grant’s relationship. Nevertheless, Dreamer continued to feel Khan dwelling on the negative was a bad idea, while also believing WWE immediately turned it around on Khan by working with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

“In 2024, you can’t do that,” Dreamer said. “You can’t [focus on the negatives]. And you have an opportunity [to get] people to tune into your show. Here’s the other part of it; this stuff with Patrick Mahomes…it’s all over the NFL. So WWE comes in, you’re the Jacksonville Jaguars, you’re the owner, you have a wrestling company as well. It took a negative spin towards you because of what you said. 

“WWE literally just went and turned it, and got the most popular football player, he’s a Super Bowl-winning quarterback, and now has him involved at a WWE show. So that was what, Friday? Now we have Monday, and WWE now has a lovely spin on ‘Wow, look at this thing. One person called us really bad, but no, the #1 person in the NFL has us here.'”
