Maven Says He Heard He Was Considered As a Member Of Evolution

Maven can’t confirm it for himself, but he says he heard that he was considered to be a member of Evolution. The WWE alumnus did a new AMA video on YouTube and noted that he “heard through the grapevine” that he was considered for the stable, which consisted of Ric Flair, Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista.

“The wildest creative idea that was thrown my way was obviously the whole Evolution angle,” he said (per Fightful). “At the beginning of the thought of there being an Evolution, it was always known that it was going to be Ric, Hunter, Randy, and then I think they were flipping back and forth between Dave and Mark Jindrak. I heard through the grapevine that they were thinking about putting me in it.”

He was quick to clarify, “I don’t know how true that was. No one from the office ever mentioned anything to me. It was just, you know, just in passing that I would hear it. So whether it was true or whether I was ever in the mix between Ric and Hunter, I don’t know, but you asked if there was anything — any wild creative [ideas] I heard. That’s definitely one of the wildest ones I’ve heard.”
