Austin Matelson (born March 10, 1985) is an American professional wrestler and television personality. He works in Lucha Underground as Vibora. He was signed to WWE where he wrestled under the ring name Judas Devlin in NXT. He was a houseguest on the reality competition, Big Brother 17, in which he placed 5th.
In 2012, Matelson signed a developmental contract with WWE and was sent for training at FCW where he was given the ring name Judas Devlin. On August 1, 2012, He made his FCW debut teaming with Corey Graves defeating Briley Pierce and CJ Parker. On 2012, FCW was renamed NXT and Devlin was transferred to the new development brand, where he had matches mainly in house shows. Austin was released after a severe spinal injury.
In late February and March 2015, several former NXT trainees previously working within WWE developmental system alleged misconduct by head trainer Bill DeMott, with Devlin and Brandon Traven publicizing complaints which they claimed they had submitted to WWE management about DeMott back in March 2013 when they were still employed with WWE. Meanwhile, other ex-trainees like Briley Pierce, Derrick Bateman and independent wrestler Terra Calaway also made allegations in 2015, while previous allegations made in 2013 by Chad Baxter and Chase Donovan were also noted. They accused DeMott of making trainees perform dangerous drills, physically assaulting and bullying trainees, using homophobic and racial slurs amongst other derogatory terms, and condoning sexual harassment. WWE released statements regarding some of the claims that came to light in 2013 and 2015, saying that investigations were done and no wrongdoing was found. On March 6, 2015, DeMott denied the allegations, but resigned from WWE "to avoid any embarrassment or damage" to the company.
