Slim Jim pulling out of WWE Royal Rumble

Amidst the latest scandal that has engulfed WWE, Slim Jim are reportedly pulling their sponsorship from Saturday's Royal Rumble.

Slim Jim have long been associated with WWE and professional wrestling in general but, according to WrestleVotes, they will no longer be involved with the Royal Rumble. It is unknown if they will remain partners for future events beyond the January 27 premium live event. 

"Hearing rumblings that Slim Jim has notified WWE they are pulling their sponsorships from tomorrow's Royal Rumble event. It is yet to be determined if they will remain partners in the future," WrestleVotes tweeted.

The Slim Jim decision comes after TKO Executive Chairman and former WWE owner Vince McMahon was accused of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and emotional and physical abuse in a lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant. John Laurinaitis was also accused of sexual assault and WWE were accused of looking to sweep the allegations against McMahon "under the rug." 

McMahon has denied the allegations but his future with TKO is currently unclear. It is unknown if TKO have the ability to remove McMahon from his position as Executive Chairman. 

While not directly named, Brock Lesnar was also referenced in the lawsuit as Grant allegedly produced "personalized sexual content" for him, among other incidents.
