WWE veteran Jim Cornette has commented on recent claims that Vince McMahon slept with Shawn Michaels and several other male stars. The 78-year-old is currently involved in a lawsuit filed by Janel Grant for allegations of sexual assault and trafficking.

UFC legend Chael Sonnen recently made some claims that he knew 11 people that Vince McMahon had slept with, and that eight of them were women. He added that McMahon held his employees' careers over them, and alleged that the Heartbreak Kid was one of the people involved in his misdeeds.

Speaking on the latest edition of the Jim Cornette Drive-Thru, the legendary manager commented on the rumors by stating that Vince McMahon allegedly having an affair with Shawn Michaels isn't well-known among people in the industry. He also said that he didn't buy the story.

"No, it's not well known in the industry. It's one of those well-circulated rumors to try to explain Vince's suffering of Shawn's picadillos and f**king bulls**t. His putting up with Shawn Michaels and people tried to explain it that way. I'm sorry, but of all the things... Honestly, if that was revealed to be a fact I would be more surprised than I was when I found out that Vince was being sued for taking a poop on somebody's head. But nevertheless, no, I'm sorry. I don't buy this," said Cornette. [5:43 - 6:43]

Jim Cornette on whether Vince McMahon slept with top guys in WWE like John Cena

The Cenation Leader is one of the biggest names in WWE history. He was heavily pushed during the height of his career, as he was a major star.

However, Jim Cornette doesn't think anything happened between Vince McMahon and John Cena when asked if he thinks Vince had freak-offs with top guys.

"No, No. Just because of knowing John Cena. John Laurinaitis I wouldn't call a top guy, but I can believe he'd do it. That was not the most surprising part of that lawsuit [the Janel Grant suit] to me," said Cornette. [7:57 - 8:13]

John Cena will make his return to WWE in a few months to begin his farewell tour. He is undoubtedly a future WWE Hall of Famer.
