#3. Brad Maddox is fired from WWE - November 25th 2015
Brad Maddox is memorable to WWE fans as the referee who helped CM Punk retain his WWE Championship inside Hell in a Cell in October 2012.
Maddox would later lose the stripes and go on to become one of the authority figures on RAW alongside Vickie Guerrero.
After this story ran its course, WWE decided it was time to repackage the star and allow him to re-debut as Joshua Kingsley.
It wasn't a character that Maddox would get along with, and after a promo as part of a dark match on SmackDown where the star called the crowd something that's not worth repeating, he was released from WWE. This came as a huge surprise since his release came out of the blue, but was seemingly passed down from the top of the company.
Since his release, Maddox dropped off the radar, but in recent years it has been revealed that the star changed his name to Tyler K Warner and has embarked on a career in the acting industry.
