Maven comments on a potential return to WWE or a move to AEW.
Maven was a WWE Superstar from 2001-2005. Twenty years later, he has made a name for himself by talking about his time in wrestling on YouTube. His latest video features him answering generic questions from Google, one of which asked whether or not he would return to WWE.
Maven admits that he would like the potential for a return but knows it must be the right fit.
"I would like to think that a return is a slight possibility, but I also have to recognize my age, and I have to recognize just how different the company is now, as opposed to when I left 20 years ago. Yeah, that's right, it's been 20 years since I was not only in a WWE ring but working for the WWE under any capacity. If they were planning on doing something with me, a seed would have taken hold, taken root, and an idea would have sprouted up already. Although, if they called, I'd answer the phone."
Similarly, he was asked about potentially joining All Elite Wrestling. Maven says he knows you would need to be slotted into a non-wrestling role and would be open to having the conversation, but understands why they haven't come calling for him yet.
"Just like my answer with WWE, I would answer if they called. They have not called, so I have no plans on going to AEW. I also think that at this point in my life, being 48 years old. My in-ring days, they're behind me. So that would mean going to, whether it be WWE or AEW, I would be more of a commentary or a managerial role. Those jobs are hard to come by, and I know a lot of the talking heads that are currently on both programs. They do a great job. They would have to see an opening, an opening that they thought I fit, and at the moment, they just don't see it. Does it bother me? Not really. Actually, I kind of understand."
