WWE chief Vince McMahon has been raided by federal agents and ordered to appear in court.

The wrestling executive chairman is on indefinite sick leave at present after having spinal surgery last week.

And the operation comes just weeks after the 77-year-old was slapped with a federal grand jury subpoena on July 17.

A search warrant was executed on McMahon in response to numerous alleged payments being made amid accusations by multiple women of sexual misconduct.

In its SEC filing on Wednesday, the WWE stated it "has received voluntary and compulsory legal demands for documents, including from federal law enforcement and regulatory agencies, concerning the investigation and related subject matters," as per CNBC.

WWE CEO Nick Khan reportedly said during a earnings call on Wednesday that he had no comment on the McMahon situation, adding that they would help with any investigations, per House of Glory's Jason Solomon.

The WWE's filing also stated that McMahon "went on medical leave after undergoing major spinal surgery."

They also said he will "remain on medical leave until further notice but will remain Executive Chairman."

News of McMahon's surgery was broken on July 28 by TMZ, who reported that his successful procedure took around four hours.

It came a week after McMahon's medical leave had begun, according to Fightful.com's Sean Ross Sapp.
