Drake Maverick addresses rumors regarding his health
Drake Maverick was one of the many wrestlers whose contacts were terminated by the WWE in April. However, Maverick was still a part of the NXT Cruiserweight Championship Tournament. The former 205 Live General Manager wrestled without a contract throughout the tournament that resulted in him reaching the finals. Drake Maverick lost the finals and the chance to become NXT Cruiserweight Champion to El Hijo Del Fantasma.
What happened next was right out of a fairy tale. The man who was relieved from his contract was offered another one by none other than Triple H. On the night that he lost his match to the current NXT Cruiserweight Champion, Drake Maverick signed a contract with the WWE to wrestle under the NXT banner.

On the following week, Fantasma and his allies attacked Drake Maverick again, putting him through a table.
In the WWE, Drake Maverick is fondly remembered for his feud against R-Truth for the 24/7 Championship. A Title that he has won six times in the company.
