Janel Grant has spoken about a scary accident that left her hospitalized with a concussion, broken ribs, and a hemorrhage. The former WWE employee said she suffered memory loss after the fall and only learned how serious her injuries were after getting to the hospital.

Grant’s 2024 lawsuit against Vince McMahon eventually led to his resignation from WWE. Looking back at the accident, she said she believes things could have turned out much worse if it had happened a year or two earlier.

Grant shared the details in an Instagram post. She said the accident happened around the end of July or the beginning of August.

“I tripped on the edge of the carpet runner.

I remember falling. I don’t remember falling for days.

I was alone.

My worst fear realized turned out to be my new beginning,” Grant wrote.

The accident also made Grant think about the physical and emotional struggles she says she has faced since June 2022.

“It took a serious accident to realize the full picture of daily atrophy that’s happened since June 2022.

Every area of life has been impacted down to my skin and bones; holding a job, support system, safety, mental health, physical strength, finances and stability in everything,”

It took a serious accident to realize how these years of ‘be brave and stay alive’ resemble my dad’s bed-to-chair hospice,” Grant added.

She further said that she does not remember seeing the blood, bruises, and other injuries she had suffered in the days after the accident. She described seeing herself afterward as an “unrecognizable version” of herself.

“It was on my walk back to bed that I tripped and fell into a wooden bed frame/wall unit with floating cabinets. I blacked out. I think it happened at the end of July or the start of August.

I have no memory of the days that followed. I didn’t know I hit my head or that I kept falling. I have no memory from those days of blood trails, bruising, busted body parts and becoming an unrecognizable version of myself.

My next memory is days later. I was being driven to the hospital out of concern about my well-being.

I had a concussion, broken ribs, and a lung hemorrhage,” Grant wrote.

Grant also became emotional during the hospital’s intake process. She was asked about her spouse, family, employer, insurance, and emergency contact, but she said she did not have any of those things.

“I remember crying during the information intake. Married? Family? Employer? Insurance? Emergency contact? I didn’t have any of these,” Grant wrote.

The hospital visit was especially emotional because of Grant’s personal connection to the place. She said it was the same hospital where her father died. She had also volunteered there before eventually working for WWE.

Despite everything she has been through, she said the experience reminded her how important it is to have people around you.

“Here’s the irony… despite everything in my life breaking, I’ve never felt more alive. I’ve also never believed more in the power of humanity to rally around someone in need.

I’ve feared an accident happening to either me or my cat because I’m alone. The last few years of chaos in life left only a few people brave enough to maintain any remote presence and answer a phone call.

If this happened last year or the year before, I can’t think of one person with enough consistent presence in my life who would’ve detected that I was injured and needed go the hospital. Because I have hindsight from years of lived experience, I appreciate how much worse this could’ve been,” Grant added.

Grant explained that people close to her realized something was wrong even though she did not understand how badly she was injured. They made calls and arranged help when she could not do it herself. She also offered her gratitude to the people who stepped in when she needed them most.

“The more I learn and reflect, the more grateful I am for the miracles that have happened in 2026.

The people who were game-changing, difference-making, life-saving Good Samaritans were not here to witness my injured state but they sensed I needed help. They stopped their lives and listened. Some of them have only had my number for a few months. Regardless of their physical location, they didn’t keep distance. They took action.

They made calls, cast a net and did things I can’t remember because I concussed. How they treated me in that moment – when I needed help but didn’t know it – reflected what’s in their hearts: compassion, patience and human kindness… THANK YOU,” Grant concluded.
