Maven: Current WWE Employee Was 'Shot Down Mighty Quickly' When Pitching A Potential Return For Me

Maven talks a potential return to WWE.

The former Tough Enough winner has addressed a potential return to WWE on numerous occasions in the past, often saying that it likely won't happen due to his age. Maven has even said that he'd be open to taking a commentary or manager role in WWE, noting that he almost returned to the company back in 2020.

Now, it appears that Maven has a clear answer on a possible return, as a recent WWE employee informed him of a pitch that was shot down mighty quickly.

“I ran into a current WWE employee and no, it’s not any wrestler. This employee informed me that they not only went to bat for me, but tried to encourage and tried to suggest possible ways of utilizing me, utilizing the talents that I may possess now. This person told me that not only was the answer no, they were actually shot down mighty quickly. I wish I could say it upset me or made me sad or even disappointed me in some way, but the fact of the matter is, it just didn’t. The one thing I’ve been able to do over the past twenty years is be resigned to accepting the fate that is in front of me, not wishing I could alter or change things that are indeed behind me. I have this platform now and I’m able to still provide some value to a business I love so much. I’ve learned to be grateful and accepting of whatever fate comes my way because honestly, sometimes in life, whether good or bad, sometimes we’re just passing through." Maven said in his latest YouTube video.

Maven's video mysteriously ended with him pulling up to the WWE PC and parking in a spot outside of the building. The camera then cut to an angle inside the doors of the PC.

Elsewhere in a recent interview, Maven explained why he didn't learn to wrestle until after he was released from WWE in 2005. Learn more by clicking here.
