Maven had several runs with the Hardcore Championship during his time in WWE.
In a new video on his YouTube page, the former WWE Tough Enough winner told a story about nearly losing the title when his car was towed. He said,
“When I was the Hardcore Champion, I did take the belt home with me. I got to keep it 24/7. It’s not like they confiscated it so that it would be at the next show. No, the belt went home with me. I still remember friends and family taking pictures of it. I almost got it in trouble the first time. I took it out to show all my buddies. At that given moment, I was the only Hardcore Champion. I thought that was pretty cool.”
He continued, “So I took it out to a bar that night. I was parked in a spot I probably shouldn’t have been because I thought I was great, and my car got towed. I had a flight the next morning to go out and defend the Hardcore Championship. Not having that belt on the flight for that show was not an option. I had to wake up the lot owner, I had to pay him $500 to get my car out of the lot, and phew. I made my flight. My wallet was a little thinner, but I learned a valuable lesson that night.”

Maven Huffman, a former WWE wrestler and winner of the reality show “Tough Enough,” recently shared an interesting story about his time as the Hardcore Champion. In a video on his YouTube page, Maven revealed how he almost lost the title when his car was towed.
During his reign as the Hardcore Champion, Maven had the privilege of keeping the belt with him at all times. Unlike other championships that were usually confiscated and brought to the next show, Maven was allowed to take the Hardcore Championship home. He fondly remembers friends and family taking pictures with the belt, feeling proud to be the sole holder of the title.
However, Maven’s excitement almost got him into trouble. One night, he decided to take the belt out to a bar to show it off to his buddies. Unfortunately, he parked his car in a spot where it shouldn’t have been, and it was towed. Maven faced a dilemma because he had a flight the next morning to defend the Hardcore Championship at a show. Not having the belt with him on the flight was not an option.
Determined to retrieve his car and the title belt, Maven had to wake up the lot owner and pay him $500 to release his vehicle. Despite the setback, he managed to make his flight and successfully defended the Hardcore Championship. However, he learned a valuable lesson that night about being responsible and making wise decisions.
Maven’s story serves as a reminder that even though being a champion comes with perks, it also requires responsibility and careful handling of the title.
