Few performers have benefitted from the 24/7 Title more than tiny Drake Maverick. His stock has gone up recently, and deservedly so. On Raw, he showed once again why he's such a good worker.

Instead of cannoning back off the ropes like most regular-sized wrestlers do, Drake did his best Rey Mysterio impression by bouncing off the middle rope instead. Not only did this sell his smaller stature, it meant he was already crouching to spring up for Truth's hip toss.

Good stuff.
