Jackson Drake Slams Maven Over ‘Sh*tty Acting’ Critique

Former WWE talent Maven posted a YouTube review in which he called NXT star Jackson Drake’s promo delivery “sh*tty acting.” Drake responded on X (formerly Twitter), labeling Maven a “fossil” and asserting that his six‑month impact at WWE already surpasses Maven’s four‑year tenure, adding that his performance is ten times better.

The exchange also touched on Maven’s praise for Myka Lockwood, Drake’s stablemate in The Vanity Project, whom Maven described as a unique talent with significant upside. The online spat underscores tension within WWE’s NXT brand and the rising profile of The Vanity Project stable.
