The former Tough Enough winner Maven stated that the reason Shawn Michaels was angry at him was because of a move that he botched.

"As the match progresses I find myself in a spot and once again, imitation being the most sincerest form of flattery, I was on my back and I was trying to do a move that The Rock and [Michaels] does — a nip up. It was pretty easy for me to do during this time. I mean, I could do it usually with or without hands, [it] didn't matter. I was athletic enough that I could pull the move off — at sea level," recalled Maven.

He failed after having no air in his lungs due to the altitude, falling on his backside. Michaels wasn't too pleased with the botch — even if it was at a live event — and proceeded to berate Maven backstage.

"Once the match was over, once the crowd got a good chuckle out of a rookie not landing a simple move, we get backstage and Shawn laid into me. He told me, if you're not 100% sure you can do and land a move, don't do it," he said.

The former WWE star said that he largely kept quiet, but did offer an explanation that Michaels wasn't keen to hear. He added that he felt bad for putting the WWE Hall of Famer in that situation and conceded that Michaels was right to be mad at him.
