Cattle Prod Incident Involving WWE Superstars Paige And Titus O'Neil Results In Lawsuit
WWE Superstar Titus O'Neil is being sued for allegedly attacking a cameraman after being shocked by a cattle prod by fellow WWE Superstar and Total Divas star Paige.
According to a report from TMZ, the incident was part of the filming of an episode of Swerved, a prank show from WWE and some of the people behind Jackass that airs on the WWE Network. Cameraman Donald Anderson says that O'Neil kicked his camera out of his hand after being shocked as part of the prank, which aired on Swerved with Titus O'Neil's portion cut. He says he suffered serious injuries to his hands, fingers, and wrist, and was told to leave "in fear" of future attacks. Anderson is reportedly seeking $1.2 million in damages.
Titus also found himself in headlines last week when he posted a photo to social media showing WWE Superstars Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns, currently involved in a heated on-screen feud, sightseeing together in Rome. O'Neil later deleted the photo after dirt sheets reported on the kayfabe-breaking pic.
Paige has been in the news repeatedly for videos filmed with her fiancee Alberto Del Rio in which former WWE Superstar Del Rio insults WWE and WWE executive Triple H, saying he has "a big nose and no balls." Paige is currently still employed by WWE and featured on its Total Divas reality show, but the status of her return to the ring when done recovering from injury is still unknown.
