Technically he is not yet a superstar. He remains a rogue
official who screwed Ryback out of the WWE championship of his own volition.
His reasoning, as given on last Monday’s show, was that he has always wanted to
be a WWE star, stealing the spotlight and being the talk of the wrestling world
(I’m paraphrasing but that’s the gist). He recounted his journey to the
developmental territory and relegation to lowly referee, with his actions at
Hell in a Cell being presented as the final option left open to a desperate
man.
Maddox will have a memorable first match on RAW
I think the way in which Brad Maddox has made his way to
the main roster is nice. It’s something different and allows him to stand out.
With his average look, average height and average physique he needs all the
help he can get making an impact.
It was decreed by Vince McMahon himself that if Maddox
can defeat the mighty Ryback on RAW then he will be signed to a million dollar
contract. I firmly believe Maddox will win that match. I don’t think he’ll do
it clean or by himself but these sorts of scenarios usually end with the heel
victorious. Look at it this way: if Maddox doesn’t
win what will have been the point of his character?
An ongoing alliance between Maddox and WWE champion CM
Punk is a possibility. Perhaps Maddox could gain his contract but still act as
an official after a ref bump at Survivor Series, aiding Punk in retaining the
belt for a second time. Or maybe Maddox could become a regular wrestler and be
used as expendable fodder by the champ.
Whatever happens in the coming weeks and months I fully
expect it will all start with Maddox defeating Ryback in some fashion on
tomorrow’s RAW. With the roster crying out for a large influx of new talent I
don’t believe WWE are in a position to turn anybody away.
