Throughout his tenure, he engaged in high-profile feuds and storylines, cementing his place in the promotion.
However, by the end of 2005, Maven was released from WWE and hasn’t returned since.
In a discussion with Chris Van Vliet of INSIGHT, he addressed the possibility of a comeback after almost two decades, stating his willingness to consider any offer from the company:
“I haven’t received any calls. But if I do, I’m definitely open to any opportunities that come my way. Regardless of the role, I’ll hear them out. Although I haven’t heard anything from WWE, I’m open to it. Would I love to return? Absolutely. In fact, back in 2020, I had an interview with them for that very reason, but it fell through due to COVID. I’d welcome the chance again. However, at 47, if it doesn’t happen, I won’t sit idle. I’ll keep moving forward.” [H/T: Chris Van Vliet]
In 2020, Maven was in discussions to rejoin WWE, but the plans were shelved due to the pandemic.
Maven also disclosed details about his earnings during his WWE tenure. Like many wrestlers, his time with the company involved extensive travel across various states and countries.
After leaving WWE, he explored new opportunities and ventured into the world of professional wrestling on YouTube, where he gained significant popularity.
In one of his videos, Maven shared insights into his financial standing, revealing that he managed to save approximately $80,000 from his four-year stint as an active performer, showcasing prudent financial management despite the challenges of the industry.
