#2 R-Truth vs Drake Maverick becomes the most interesting WWE feud

Last month, WWE came up with the 24/7 Title and all hell broke loose! The title's design was heavily criticized by the WWE Universe, but something happened that suddenly turned this storyline into pure gold! R-Truth and Carmella's hilarious escapades with the belt resulted in his videos getting the most number of views on WWE's official Youtube channel.

A recent WWE poll resulted in Truth becoming the most favorite current champion in WWE, defeating Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, and Kofi Kingston! 205 Live GM Drake Maverick was soon dropped into the mix and the storyline got more interesting!

Maverick was seen distributing flyers, cutting hilarious parody promos on Truth, and promising that he would win the title eventually. Maverick did win the title earlier this week, but lost it to Truth in his own wedding of all places! WWE's efforts towards this angle, Truth simply being his hilarious self, and Maverick actually suggesting WWE writers inculcate the storyline in his real-life wedding, has turned this rivalry into the most interesting thing WWE is currently producing!

Imagine hearing back in 2018 that R-Truth vs Drake Maverick would somehow become the most engaging and intriguing feud in WWE at some point in 2019! As Vince had once famously said, anything can happen in WWE.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
