In 2004, Maven was briefly featured in the WWE main event scene, and the WWE alumnus considers Randy Orton as instrumental to this achievement.
As part of Orton’s Survivor Series 2004 team, Maven served as the RAW General Manager for a single night and also competed against Triple H for the WWE World Championship.
On his YouTube channel, Maven recently discussed his association with Orton and how it facilitated his career advancement in WWE.
He said, "As the years passed on, [Randy Orton's] importance to the company continued to grow. Everybody knew that he was a special talent, but he never in any way changed the way he treated me. He never big-timed me in any way. In fact, he always went out of his way to even try to help me. He would go to the writing team, he would always encourage them to use me in different ways, different roles."
Maven continued, "I've always thought that me being inserted into the Survivor Series angle in 2004, probably directly correlated with him, encouraging them to use me. Because if you look at the participants in that, one guy stands out that doesn't fit. It's not Triple H. It's not Batista. It's me, I'm the one that does not fit."
