After being away from the headlines for almost three years, former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star Brad Maddox became an internet sensation again in May 2018 after leaked videos and photos of Paige that appeared online showing the retired wrestler (Paige) performing sex acts with former WWE employee Xavier Woods and an unidentified third man.
With the outdoor sex tape, so many people wanted to know the profiles of the men in the video, including that of Tyler Kluttz popularly known as Brad Maddox and as few people knew him well enough during his short time at the WWE, here’s everything you need to know about him, including the story behind the leaked video and his relationship with former WWE wrestler Paige who had to end her career following an injury that she had suffered in a six-woman tag team match in New York.
Who is Brad Maddox?
The former WWE star is of Greek descent and was born in Tega Cay, South Carolina on May 4, 1984 as Tyler Kluttz. Maddox does not disclose his personal life to the public, so there is no information about his parents, family, and early life.
He began his career in 2008 on Ohio Valley Wrestling
(OVW). For his first match, he teamed with Galvin Garrison as Brent Wellington against Dewey and Adam Revolver. In July 2009 Brad Maddox won his first OVW Television Championship after defeating Jamin Olivencia and in February 2010 he won the OVW Heavyweight Champion after winning a battle royal; later that year, he signed a developmental contract with WWE.
He debuted for Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) on a live show in August 2010 as Brad Maddox and has kept the name ever since. The wrestler won his first FCW match in July 2011, the match was against Percy Watson and Richie Steamboat. In June 2012, he won the FCW 15 Championship and the following month won the Florida Tag Team Championship alongside Rick Victor and became the last holder of both titles before the FCW Championships were rebranded as NXT Wrestling.
In August 2012, he was promoted to the roster position as a referee and his first job as a referee was a Divas Battle Royal. He also refereed the 2012 Hell in a Cell main event and presided over the match between Ryback and CM Punk. He interfered in the match by attacking Ryback and allowing Punk to win the match. Ryback, of course, chased after the game.
After revealing that Paul Heyman and CM Punk were working with The Shield and that Heyman staged the Hell in a Cell fiasco to ensure his client (CM Punk) won the Raw Managing Supervisor, Vickie Guerrero rewarded Brad Maddox with the position of Deputy Managing Supervisor Raw. Brad took over as Raw’s new General Manager after Guerrero was fired when fans voted her down for failing in her role. He served for a year before being sacked in November 2015 for calling the crowd “arrogant stings” during a dark game.
What is his relationship with Paige?
When Paige’s sex video and photos were leaked online many wondered what the relationship between the two was. The video was allegedly taken between 2012 and 2014 and the couple reportedly dated at the time even though Brad Maddox was married at the time.
Following the leak, the former England wrestler said it scarred her that people would invade her privacy to the point of leaking what she didn’t want to see in public. “When they came out, I barricaded myself in the house for a few months. I was so sad that I was considering suicide,” she revealed during the Chasing Glory With Lilian Garcia podcast.

She also revealed that she suffered from stress-induced baldness etanorexia during this period. This isn’t the first time Paige has been the victim of revenge porn. In 2017, another sex video of her was stolen and shared online.
Despite the video leaking, Brad Maddox, who was married at the time the sex video was made public, remains married with two children.
