Imagine a tag team that would be more sneaky, conniving and narcissistic as the pairing of EC3 & Drave Maverick?
We have seen this pair before, back in Impact Wrestling when Drake Maverick used to be known as Rockstar Spud. The two men were part of Dixie Carter's authority stable, and there is no denying that the two men used to entertain the world on a weekly basis.
However right now, Maverick is currently the GM for 205 Live as well as the manager for Authors of Pain but that really doesn't seem to be working. It just doesn't feel the same without Paul Ellering, and Maverick being AOP's manager seems like a huge waste.
But as for EC3, he is soon moving to Monday Night Raw from NXT. He hasn't had much success in NXT due to the wide broad of talent that is on the NXT roster. There are so many superstars that are better than in the ring than EC3, but there aren't many that can match his promo ability.
Reuniting EC3 & Drake Maverick would be a great idea because they both have similar characters that could work well together. You could simply have Maverick turn on AOP by introducing EC3 as his tag team partner, and that could easily set up their first big rivalry in a brutal team like AOP.
Both men are also good in the ring, but they are more than able to put on a good story- as Maverick has plenty of experience from wrestling on the independent scene. The same can be said for EC3, due to his bouts against Rockstar Spud himself & Bobby Lashley.
This could be the perfect opportunity for EC3 & Maverick to showcase their abilities, and become one of the best tag teams in the WWE today. It could be a long-lasting pairing, and the potential in terms of promo is absolutely endless.
