Maven opens up about a potential WWE return.
The former Tough Enough competitor revealed in January that he had talks with WWE in 2020. However, things did not pan out due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, Maven has returned to the ring for a handful of matches on the independent scene.
But during a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Maven admitted he would listen to what WWE had to offer if they ever called him again. (H/t WrestleNews.co for the transcription)
“I can honestly say, because people ask me, I haven’t gotten one call,” Maven said. “If I get the call, I’m obviously going to listen to any opportunity that comes my way. I don’t care what the opportunity is. I’m going to listen to it, but no, I haven’t heard anything from them. Would I love to go back, because in one of my videos, I talked about how in 2020 I went and had an interview with them to do just that and it just didn’t pan out because of COVID.”
Maven: If It Doesn’t Happen, I’m Gonna Keep Moving
Maven then stated that while he would love to have the opportunity to come back to WWE, he would keep moving if it never came.
“I would love to have that opportunity again, but I’m also 47. If it doesn’t happen, I’m not going to sit and twiddle my thumbs and hope. I’m gonna keep moving. I learned a long time ago in life, there’s a couple of key things about life and that is you gotta keep moving no matter if it’s good or bad. Keep plugging, keep moving, put one foot in front of the other, and just keep charging.
“If I sit and wait for a call from WWE that might not come, then I’m opening myself up to let myself down and I refuse to do that. If you would have told me a year ago that you’re going to be a YouTuber, I would have laughed in your face, but look where we’re at now. So if it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, then other things will present itself, I’m sure.”
