Maven comments on Randy Orton's ability to speak his mind to Vince McMahon.
Maven's most recent YouTube video sees him revisiting CM Punk's appearance on the Art of Wrestling podcast in November 2014. This podcast was the first time CM Punk had spoken about his decision to depart WWE in January 2014.
During the podcast, the former WWE Champion aired several grievances that led to his decision to leave the company. One thing Punk mentioned during the podcast is that he and John Cena had no problem going to Vince McMahon with their concerns over the direction of the company. Punk also said that "maybe" Randy Orton would also have no problem openly discussing his issues.
Maven, who worked with Orton during his time in WWE from 2001 to 2005, reflected on his own experiences seeing Randy speak his mind to the boss.
"Randy would definitely do it. I've watched it. He was doing it back years before Punk was even in the WWE. So there were other guys. Other guys wouldn't do it. Not because they didn't have the balls to do it. It's because they weren't on Vince's plane. They weren't on Vince's orbit."
Punk would eventually return to WWE at the 2023 WWE Survivor Series. Now he is headed back to the 2024 WWE Royal Rumble.
