After establishing himself on WWE programming in 2018 as the General Manager of 205 Live and the manager of AOP’s Akam & Rezar, Drake Maverick has become one of the company’s biggest breakout stars in 2019.

The Brit took advantage of the power of social media in May when he started to post videos of himself searching for R-Truth in order to win the 24/7 Championship.

His online videos became so popular that WWE’s creative team began using him on a regular basis on Raw and SmackDown Live, and Triple H even name-checked Maverick in a conference call before NXT TakeOver: XXV as somebody who has successfully used his creativity to help build his own brand.

The 205 Live GM has since become a four-time 24/7 Champion, with his most memorable segment coming in June when he lost the title to R-Truth during his own wedding ceremony.
