10 Wildest Wrestling Lawsuits Ever

6. A Truly Shocking Case

For those of you who don't remember (which, in all honesty, is probably most of you), Swerved was a short-lived show on the WWE Network.

It was a hidden camera prank show that the company touted as an "original" programme, even though it had exactly the same concept as Jackass. It was even produced by that show's co-founder Jeff Tremaine.

Swerved was rubbish, if you couldn't already tell, and died a death after just two seasons. However, that was long enough for the show to land one superstar in some serious legal trouble.

On one episode, somebody thought it would be a good idea to give Paige a cattle prod. The young Brit went around shocking people, including Titus O'Neil. Apparently, O'Neil reacted very badly to this, and took his frustrations out on a cameraman named Donald Anderson.

Anderson filed a suit against the former Prime Time Player, claiming that the star kicked a camera out of his hand and injured him in the process.

The suit was dismissed after all sides came to a settlement, which Titus' bank account had to be thankful for. Maybe he shouldn't have spent so much time bragging about his "millions of dollars."
