Former WWE star Maven joined Insight with Chris Van Vliet to talk about his career and what he’s doing now. And what is Maven doing now one may ask?
“Crazily enough I work in the weirdest industry you can work in right now. I work in finance at Wall Street,” Maven said. “I travel in and I work for a company that is right there on Wall Street. I have never worked in this industry before. I found out that a lot of people in finance are really into music. Everyone I work with has a CD coming out or a video coming out. I live in New Jersey and I commute.”

WWE has announced a new match for the next week s episode of Monday Night RAW.
