Following the introduction of the WWE 24/7 Championship, Maverick chased the current holder of the championship on "Raw", "SmackDown" and "205 Live" throughout the next few months, becoming more active as a wrestler. During his title pursuit, Maverick would create flyers of whoever the current champion was and handed them out to fans, backstage personnel, and superstars in various places. WWE management liked Maverick's ideas and, in regard, gave him a little push. On 29 May edition of "SmackDown", R-Truth and Maverick interrupted the Shane McMahon Appreciation Night in an impromptu match for the title, which Maverick lost. On 18 June, Maverick (disguised as R-Truth's manager Carmella) surprised R-Truth in the parking lot of the arena, pinned him for the title and immediately drove off in the referee's car. This marked his first championship win in WWE. Maverick also became the second holder - after R-Truth - to hold the title for over one day. However, he lost the title to R-Truth during his wedding, two days later. During the following episode of "Raw", Maverick had a rematch against R-Truth for the title, but he was quickly defeated. On 1 July episode of "Raw", Maverick attacked R-Truth with a suitcase and pinned him in the backstage area, while the latter was fleeing from a mob of wrestlers to become a two-time 24/7 Champion. However, Maverick lost the title to Truth 14 days later when Truth pinned him on his hotel room bed during his honeymoon. Throughout the following weeks, he would win and lose the title four times. As part of the 2019 WWE Draft, Maverick was drafted to SmackDown brand, though he would still serve as General Manager of 205 Live.
