The infamous WWE 24/7 Championship was one of the most chaotic things the company has done in recent memory. During the title's lifespan, which lasted from 2019 to 2022, it was held by a wide variety of stars, both in WWE and in pop culture. Drake Maverick was one of the WWE stars who helped establish the championship and the craziness surrounding it.In June 2019, Maverick and his wife allowed WWE to film during their actual wedding, which R-Truth promptly crashed to capture the 24/7 Championship from Maverick, even pinning him on the train of his wife's wedding dress. Maverick sat down with Simon Miller and spoke about the angle, and it was him who brought it up to creative."I just let them know, 'So, we've done [a title change] on an airplane,'" he said. "'We've done it on a golf course. Just want to let you know, in a few weeks I'm getting married. I'm not saying we can do it, but there is a window that if we did it, it would be the funniest thing of all time.' So, Dave Kapoor at the time, left it with him. The next week, I defeat R-Truth for the 24/7 Championship, dressed as Carmella... And stole this championship like a thief in the night. I was parading it around at my bachelor party, because I'm the champion."Maverick said their wedding was beautiful, and the scene for WWE, which aired on social media and YouTube to great success, was actually shot in between the actual ceremony and further festivities. He revealed they got the footage in one take, and his in-laws were impressed by how unique it all was.If you use any quotes from this article, please credit Simon Miller and provide a h/t to Wrestling Inc. for the transcription.
