Ringside guard sues WWE star Montez Ford over a dance during his Raw entrance

A security guard has filed a lawsuit against WWE star Montez Ford over a dance he says Ford performed on him during a Monday Night Raw taping.

Noel Lucas works as a Cook County sheriff's deputy when he is not on event duty. He filed the suit in Illinois. He says it happened on July 6 while he was assigned to security near the ring.

What the suit claims

According to the complaint, the 36-year-old wrestler came at him during his big entrance with no warning. Lucas says he never agreed to any of it.

He claims Ford stood right in front of him and over him while thrusting and swiveling his hips in his direction. The filing calls it a "sexualized lap dance."

Lucas says people recognized him. He claims he was then mocked online as well as at his job, which he calls humiliating.

The suit lists claims that include assault, battery plus intentional infliction of emotional distress. WWE itself is being sued too.

Ford's career

Ford has spent 11 years with WWE. He is one half of the Street Profits tag team with Angelo Dawkins.

The pair has won nearly every tag title the company offers. That list includes the NXT, Raw and SmackDown tag belts plus the WWE Tag Team Championship.
