Drake Maverick On Crying When Telling EC3 He Wanted To Stay In WWE

Drake Maverick was released from WWE, but he was eventually given a new contract with NXT. He really was released and looking at an uncertain future, but an emotional promo and the work he put in after that changed things for him.

While speaking to the Gorilla Position, Drake Maverick spoke about his release from WWE and the situation that got him a new contract. He also brought up his best friend EC3 who wasn’t in the same situation that he was where a new opportunity in WWE was available.

Maverick said that he broke into tears when telling EC3 that he wants to stay in the company.

“He wasn’t put in the best position to succeed. Just give the guy a microphone. What he’s done now and created since his release is incredible. What he’s created without a creative team behind it, without a budget behind it, without a global company behind it is masterful. I really wish he was staying. On top of him being one of the best people I’ve ever been in the ring with, he’s also my best friend. He’s also the person I went to and said, ‘I want to stay with WWE.’ I burst into tears when I told him. If I wasn’t staying with WWE, there’s no other person I want to be on the same track with than him. That day was really hard, saying, ‘I’m gonna bust my ass because I want to stay.’ He was a person who wasn’t in the same situation as me.”
