In an appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet , Maven Huffman commented on being the first wrestler to take Brock Lesnar's finishing move, the 'F-5', on WWE television.

"There was no telling me how he's going to take it. [He said] I'm going to grab you, put you on my shoulders. 'What do you need from me, Brock?' 'Nothing, just lay flat,'" the Tough Enough season 1 winner recalled.

Apparently, "The Beast Incarnate" laughed when Maven asked if he would need him to boost himself up.

"I realized I'm a child to him. The way you [Chris] probably run, grab, and pick your two-year-old up, that's how he was with me."

In recent years, Maven has found success outside of the ring on YouTube, creating content about the larger-than-life world of professional wrestling.

Brock Lesnar, on the other hand, made a stunning return to the WWE after a two-year absence related to his involvement in the ongoing lawsuit between Janell Grant and former WWE CEO Vince McMahon. Lesnar shocked the world when he returned at WWE SummerSlam last month and delivered...an F-5 to "The Greatest of All Time" John Cena.

We have not seen Brock on WWE television since SummerSlam, but that could change tomorrow on SmackDown in Chicago. John Cena has been advertised to appear, and with only two weeks left until WWE WrestlePalooza on ESPN, a Lesnar appearance would be right on time to make their match official.
