NXT Superstar reveals what he did after being attacked by Brock Lesnar

Former RAW commentator and current NXT Superstar Dio Maddin still hasn't forgotten what Brock Lesnar did to him on the November 4, 2019 edition of Monday Night RAW.

The Beast attacked Maddin and hit a thunderous F5 on him when the latter defended Jerry Lawler, who was being threatened by Paul Heyman.

At tonight's WWE NXT live event in Orlando, Maddin defeated Cal Bloom and delivered a scathing promo following the victory.

"I had the opportunity a couple of months ago to talk about the job I wanted to do. Then I had a wake-up call when Brock Lesnar, I'm gonna call a spade a spade, put me through a table. A lesser man would press charges, but Dio Maddin is not a lesser man.

"Dio Maddin went home, he looked at himself in a mirror, he even looked at the faces of his three beautiful daughters, and I told them, 'Never again'. Dio Maddin isn't about talking, Dio Maddin is about that action, and that action is to lay a stack of bodies until I get where I'm trying to go."

Last year, Maddin made his debut as a RAW commentator, on the season premiere of Monday Night RAW.

Maddin joined WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler and Vic Joseph, and was a mainstay on Monday nights until Lesnar's attack.

Maddin left the announce team soon after, and went back to NXT to resume his in-ring career.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
