Brad Maddox: 5 things you probably didn't know about the man reportedly involved in Paige's picture scandal

#4 Why he was released

Was released for being a ‘heel’

There were a lot of rumours about why Maddox was released from the WWE. He was released back in November 2015 and surprisingly, him being a heel had something to do with that.

During a live event show, Maddox called the fans ‘Cocky pricks’, and Vince McMahon, who was in attendance for the event, did not like it. According to Maddox, that is what led to his release from the promotion.

“I had a dark match in Indianapolis, and I called the Indianapolis crowd "pricks." I didn't think anything of it. That's never been a bad word to me. I didn't believe it was inappropriate. Vince [McMahon] was watching and did not like it. That was pretty much the reason,” Maddox noted during an interview.
