Drake Maverick Releases Video Following WWE Release
Drake Maverick took to Twitter to release a new video following his WWE release.
As announced this evening, Maverick was released from WWE along with Hit Row (Top Dolla, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott & Ashante "Thee" Adonis), John Morrison, Tegan Nox, Shane Thorne, and Jaxson Ryker.
The video plays off of an old video that Drake Maverick shared when WWE first released him last year in April, but with a more uplifting message.
In the video, another version of himself comes and gives him the following pep talk.
Look at ya. You can't pull this one again. Get up. You're gonna be fine. I mean, everything they ever gave you turned into a moment, right? If they wanted you to be a manager, you made it work. If they wanted you to run around 24/7, you made it work. They even tried to get rid of ya. You made that work too.
I don't know what else to tell ya. You're a success! You've always been a success, and you're going to carry on being a success. You did everything you said you were going to do in life. You're a success!
Look at me. Look at me. Hey. I know we've been here before, but we don't belong here anymore. What was our dream? C'mon, what was our dream? It wasn't to be a WWE superstar, was it? It was to be a professional wrestler.
You can't be fired from wrestling pal. Somebody's going to book ya. Even an idiot like you. But what I'm asking you to do is get up, because if you don't get up, this whole journey, this whole dream is gonna die. It's gonna end. And we've got so much more that we need to accomplish here in this journey.
It's going to keep going, but we ain't gonna accomplish nothing if you don't get up! C'mon, get up! What you just going to let this dream die? Get up! We're gonna accomplish everything! GET UP! GET UP!"
The video ends with Drake Maverick waking up and taking his WWE logo shirt off. His phone then buzzes and he looks at it, smiles, and walks off.
