3. Drew McIntyre Says Drake Maverick Will Stay In WWE
While speaking to Gary Cassidy, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre praised Drake Maverick for his work in NXT, and said that he thinks Maverick will stay around after the Interim NXT Cruiserweight Championship tournament.
Below are the highlights:
On Maverick’s run in the tournament:
“It’s the real Drake Maverick. That’s the real Spud. He is very, very passionate about this industry, much like myself. He’s always wanted to do it. He’s gave his entire life to it. You know, again, in the situation that he was in, he just put his heart on his sleeve and just told the world, ‘I’m still going to keep doing this’. He would and he’d be successful wherever he went – but I think he’s so capable of multiple different roles, not just in the ring.”
On Maverick’s WWE future:
“He’s so talented when it comes to his mind. He could be writing the show, he could be helping with characters, he can be on the show, he can be a manager. He’s so multi-talented and I do think, going off of this storyline, which he created himself, he will be around and he’s going to have a long future here, not just on camera but off-camera, too.”
Maverick is set to face El Hijo Del Fantasma for the Interim NXT Cruiserweight Championship on this week’s episode of NXT, which will also be a deciding point for Maverick’s career in WWE.
