Thaddeus Bullard, who works as Titus O'Neil in WWE, had a lawsuit filed against him in Los Angeles County Superior Court stemming from a incident filming the WWE Network show "Swerved".

TMZ originally broke the story.

Donald Anderson, who worked on the show as a cameraman, claimed the incident took place on May 18, 2015, and is suing for more than $1.2 million in damages.

According to his complaint, Bullard was zapped with an electric shock as part of the show. Anderson claimed that when that happened, Bullard kicked the camera out of his hands, causing serious inury to his hand, fingers, and wrist.

Anderson said that when it happened, he was told to leave the premises immediately for fear of further attacks.

As of now, the 40-year-old Bullard has not commented on the suit. A former University of Florida football player, he was signed by WWE in 2009. After spending time in FCW, he was part of NXT's second season and was officially called up to the main roster in April 2012.

And it took him two whole years to realize the injury and decide that he should sue over it?

injury also sounds completely exaggerated, this is just a quick cash grab against Titus

Was it a legit shock? Because if it was, people's bodies do weird things when stimulated with electricity. It may have been an involuntary movement.

It also could have been Titus trying to do something he thought would be appropriate for the show, with no intention at all to hurt anyone. Sounds like a money-grubbing disgruntled employee to me.
