Thaddeus Michael Bullard (born April 29, 1977) is an American retired professional wrestler and former arena football player. He is the Global Ambassador of WWE.[5] Described by the company as "one of the most philanthropic superstars in WWE history," Bullard is the recipient of the WWE Hall of Fame 2020 Warrior Award.[5]

Bullard played college football for the University of Florida, and thereafter played in the Arena Football League (AFL). His career as a professional wrestler began under the ring name Titus O'Neil in WWE's developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), before being moved to NXT where he was part of the second season and fifth season, NXT Redemption. In WWE, he is a former one-time WWE Tag Team Champion as part of The Prime Time Players with Darren Young and a former one-time WWE 24/7 Champion, being the inaugural holder of the latter title.[6] In 2021, Bullard was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a recipient of the Warrior Award, honoring his charitable work – especially in his hometown of Tampa, Florida.[7] In the summer of 2021, a public school in Tampa was also named after Bullard honoring his charitable work and contributions to and for the Hillsborough County public school system.[8][9]
