Guess who's back?
Like
the proverbial bad penny, Brad Maddox has returned to WWE, cameraman in
tow and a must-see proposal for Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero.
Having starred in his own acclaimed reality show, "The Brad Maddox
Experience" on YouTube, the rogue referee came back to Raw spoiling for a
fight and looking to put some butts in the seats. Pitching himself as a
must-see Monday night attraction, Maddox convinced Vickie to give him
another opportunity at a WWE contract, provided he could defeat whomever
Vickie picked out as his opponent.
He should have probably negotiated that last part a bit better.
Randy
Orton was Vickie's Superstar of choice to face Maddox, and the
upstart's effort bore about as much fruit as his bout against Ryback a
couple of weeks ago on Raw. Maddox did get one shot in, but that just
served to irritate the already surly Orton. The Viper was relentless in
his dismantling of Maddox, striking immediately with the hanging DDT
before unleashing the RKO to dash Maddox's hopes for the second time.
It
was ultimately The Shield who got the last word in, though, hopping the
barricade and swarming The Apex Predator before leaving Orton writhing
from the force of their three-pronged attack and disappearing.
Now, for the good news: Maddox didn't end up in an ambulance this time. So he has that going for him, which is nice.
