Comedy in WWE can be a difficult thing. Too often, WWE has tried to make the fans laugh, only to be met by cringed faces and groans by the fans.

That's not to say that the WWE never gets it right when it comes to comedy, as there have been some instances of genuine gold, such as the Daniel Bryan and Kane skits of 2012.

In 2019, there is arguably no-one funnier than Drake Maverick, as it's clear that the former Rockstar Spud has no problem being the butt of the joke.

Whether it be dressing as 'Macho Man-nana' (a crossover between Randy Savage and a banana) at San Diego Comic-Con, or even getting pinned at his own wedding, Maverick has got a good sense of humor.

Since its unveiling, the 24/7 Title has been one of the most exciting parts of WWE TV, but also one of the funniest, allowing some much-needed comic relief between matches.

With that in mind, having Maverick be the champion, at least for now, makes total sense.
