Former WWE superstar, Maven, had an interesting run during his early days with the company. He was WWE Tough Enough season one winner and the creative team booked him against The Undertaker to put him over. However, Maven recently confessed that back in 2020 he was in talks with WWE COO, Triple H to get back with the company, but the pandemic happened and the conversation never turned into action.

During the start of his career, Maven was in a lengthy feud with The Undertaker and the Deadman did everything in his power to put him over with the crowd. However, things didn’t work out well for the former star and the company had to release him.

“Before the world was shut down before the pandemic, I actually traveled to Orlando and met with Hunter (Triple H) and with Albert (Matt Bloom) who is running the developmental down there now. And I was talking to them about maybe doing some announcing stuff. I did that, and I went there, on March 11 of 2020. And if you remember, in America that’s the day America shut down. So, I never want to turn my back or say, ‘No or it’ll never happen’. Because I don’t know.” he said.

When Maven first started out with the company, it looked like they had big plans for the youngster and wanted to establish him as the top face of the company.
