You can earn something. One of the most frequent lines that you’ll hear in WWE is about grabbing the brass ring. Everyone thinks that it’s the simplest thing in the world to just go and start doing something and get noticed as a result. It turns out to not be that simple, but that has never stopped people from saying it’s so easy. However, someone seems to have gotten somewhere through pure effort.
According to Fightful’s Post Raw Show, Drake Maverick’s chase of the 24/7 Title is going on longer than originally planned because the company has been impressed with his efforts in making the story work. Maverick has actually posted up his wanted posters for R-Truth and the title, which got him some favorable reviews from WWE, thereby earning himself the push. Maverick is still the General Manager of 205 Live.
This is what Maverick is after. Check out R-Truth’s 24/7 Title shenanigans from SmackDown Live:
Opinion: Good for Maverick. This isn’t much, but it’s something that has gotten him television time and a little bit of success. He’s not the kind of performer who is going to be put in there against heavyweight talent but at least he’s found something to do and done it on his own. That’s the kind of initiative that still works, but a lot of luck is involved too, which is where some of the problems in WWE stem from today.
