#4 Drake Maverick

I'd always felt that Drake Maverick was being wasted as a General Manager. Having followed his career and especially having seen his Impact Wrestling run, I knew that the man has better comedic timing than maybe anyone in the current WWE roster. He had a chance to showcase some of his talents when he was in contention for the 24/7 Championship, trading wins with R-Truth, and making the WWE Universe laugh with his wife, Renee Michelle.

Now that the two men are on different brands, I can only imagine that WWE wants a fresh new start for this amazing performer. There's no better spot for a comedy wrestler than with The New Day because Kofi Kingston and Big E can jam with Drake Maverick's comedic timing and create some truly incredible moments. One can only imagine how weird things could potentially get if Renee Michelle was inserted into the picture as well and the storyline of consummating Maverick's marriage was continued.

I could be wrong but I sense great hip gyrating potential in Drake Maverick, and more importantly, I think that he would fit into the unit as the missing unit of a jigsaw puzzle.
