WWE has decided to move the Maximum Male Models from Friday Night SmackDown to Monday Night Raw. 

WWE had the trio appear in a segment last week on Raw where Maxxine Dupri, ma.çé (Mace), and mån.sôör (Mansoor) were backstage. Dupri looked like she was interested in recruiting Otis of Alpha Academy.

WWE has updated its website’s Raw roster page and added the three members to the red brand. 

Explanation

WWE is planning to do an angle on tonight’s Raw to solidify Maximum Male Models moving to the red brand, according to a report by Fightful Select. As of this writing, it’s unclear whether Otis or Chad Gable will be involved or what they have planned for the group. 

WWE created the stable in April 2022 on SmackDown. Originally, LA Knight, known as Max Dupri, led the group. It was said the stable was a pet project of Vince McMahon while he was still in charge of creative. 

Maxxine was later introduced as Max’s sister, while Knight left the group and returned to his previous gimmick. This was shortly after WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H took over creative.

Before last week, WWE last used the faction on television during the January 20 SmackDown episode. This show saw them lose to Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde of Legado del Fantasma. They didn’t get much television time, but Mansoor, Mace, and Dupri continued to work non-televised live events.

We have not seen the last of Max-Doo-PREE!

Much has been made about Max Dupri’s status with Maximum Male Models. It was reported that Dupri was replaced by Maxxine Dupri as the mouthpiece of the faction.

Dupri reportedly rubbed some people the wrong way as he questioned the material of his scripts. The last word from Wrestling Observer is that Vince McMahon pulled him from the group as he wasn’t a fan of his delivery during promos.

Now that Vince is gone, Max Dupri isn’t going anywhere.

During the July 29 episode of WWE SmackDown, the Maximum Male Models unveiled the 2022 Beachwear Collection.

At the end of the segment, Max Dupri appeared to the surprise of fans inside the State Farm Arena and color commentator Pat McAfee.

Max Dupri’s future in WWE remains unclear after he was removed from the Maximum Male Models but we do have an update. 

Max Dupri Removed From Maximum Male Models

Last week on SmackDown, Max Dupri was replaced by the Maxxine Dupri character played by former NXT wrestler Sofia Cromwell.

It was previously reported, that Dupri was said to have rubbed some people the wrong way and was unbooked at the last minute. Although Mace and Mansoor were on board with the storyline, Dupri had some reservations about things, and scripts were changed.

This was a storyline that Vince McMahon came up with and was fully behind. McMahon had worked with Dupri on his promo and how he should sound because McMahon did not want him to sound like his LA Knight character in NXT.

An Update On Max Dupri

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that Dupri being removed was a Vince call made “after one of the early segments of the deal when Vince blamed the segment being bad on his delivery of the lines, and apparently, he also spoke up about some of the scripting.”

With McMahon resigning and Triple H now in charge of creative, Dupri may show up on TV again. However, as of right now, he is out of the group.

This Friday’s SmackDown saw an abrupt change in the Maximum Male Models storyline. NXT star Sofia Cromwell debuted as Maxxine Dupri, with reports suggesting that Max Dupri was done with the group.

We have an update on the situation and the future of the character played by the former LA Knight.

Per Fightful, the whole angle was Vince McMahon’s idea and he had taken a particular interest in the storyline. The boss even came down to the ring to produce the Maximum Male Models debut segment which doesn’t happen often.

The former WWE chairman had a distinct vision for how Max Dupri would sound. McMahon worked with Max quite a bit on it. He said that he wanted the character to sound nothing like Knight.

Both Mace and Mansoor were on board with the angle, but LA Knight had some reservations. He said to have ‘ruffled some feathers with a couple of scripts’ and challenged what the writers had come up with.

Though despite the report that the decision was made a couple of weeks ago, Max Dupri was unbooked on last minute. Other people involved in the segment weren’t given any concrete information on his status.

A source said that Vince McMahon retiring from WWE is the best thing that could have happened to Knight. He still has supporters in WWE that enjoy his work, and the door isn’t closed for the decision to be reversed.

A WWE NXT star has made her main roster debut.

The July 22 episode of WWE SmackDown was held inside the TD Garden in Boston, MA. Dominating the headlines going into the show was the fact that Vince McMahon retired earlier in the afternoon.

While the show was rewritten due to Brock Lesnar leaving the arena amid the Vince news, some plans will be going ahead as scheduled.

That much is clear from the newest character serving as a mouthpiece for Maximum Male Models.

Maxxine Dupri has arrived.

Who is Maxxine Dupri?

There was a lot of speculation on which NXT star would don the Maxxine Dupri character. The real answer was revealed on Friday night.

In a backstage segment, NXT 2.0 star Sofia Cromwell was revealed as Maxxine Dupri. Her character is the sister of Max Dupri, who wasn’t seen during tonight’s episode.

The planned 2022 beachwear collection showcase for Maximum Male Models has been pushed back to the July 29 edition of SmackDown.

Max Dupri Character Scrapped

Maxxine Dupri is now leading Maximum Male Models, so what about the group’s original figurehead, Max Dupri?

According Pro Wrestling Torch, one of Vince McMahon’s final duties as the head of WWE creative was to scrap the Max Dupri character, portrayed by the man formerly known as L.A. Knight.

The decision was made after Max Dupri was “rubbing people the wrong way” behind the scenes. Sofia Cromwell’s debut as Maxxine Dupri was WWE’s way of writing Max Dupri out of storylines.

A brand new character will be seen on the July 22 episode of SmackDown.

In the world of wrestling, new gimmicks are seen all the time. This is especially true in WWE, where characters of all kinds are found.

One new faction has been formed on the blue brand and it has been quite polarizing, to say the least. While some find the group to be quirky, others believe it’s dead in the water.

Regardless, the Maximum Male Models will stick around for now.

Introducing Maxxine Dupri

During the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, it was announced that Max Dupri, ma.çé, and mån.sôör will be debuting the new 2022 beachwear collection next week.

The group will be joined by a special guest.

WWE is advertising that Max Dupri’s sister, Maxxine, will be present for the reveal of the beachwear collection.

There is no word on the identity of the person donning this new character but we’ll be sure to update you once more details surface.

Until then, brace yourself for the ultimate titillation.

One WWE talent is dropping a hint that perhaps he is the perfect candidate to join a fresh faction.

Whenever a new faction debuts, it can be quite polarizing. That seems to be the case with Maximum Male Models led by Max Dupri.

Some people think the stable is hysterical, while others don’t see the comedy and feel it’ll fall on its face within a matter of months.

At least for the time being, the group is sticking around on WWE SmackDown revealing new fashion collections on a weekly basis.

One NXT star has seemingly thrown his name in the hat to join the faction.

Duke Hudson in Maximum Male Models?

NXT star Duke Hudson has taken to social media and made a rather convincing argument that perhaps he should be the next member of Maximum Male Models.

As of now, MMM consists of Max Dupri, ma.çé, and mån.sôör.

Who knows what the play on words would be for Duke Hudson if he joins the stable or if WWE would give him a new name altogether.

There is an official website for Maximum Male Models where “applications” are being taken.

With that said, the website notes that this is purely for fun and WWE will not be taking any applications into consideration when it comes to hiring talent.

A WWE SmackDown faction has new members.

Stables in the world of wrestling are nothing new. The biggest group in WWE today is The Bloodline. Roman Reigns and The Usos have dominated the SmackDown brand but there’s another heel faction looking to make a splash.

The newest members have been introduced.

ma.çé and mån.sôör join Maximum Male Models

Several weeks ago, Max Dupri, the leader of Maximum Male Models, promised he would introduce new members of his faction.

That didn’t end up happening as WWE used the storyline excuse that Dupri had travel issues. Dupri continued to stall on the reveal, claiming authority figure Adam Pearce wasn’t properly prepared for the big reveal.

Dupri finally delivered on the July 1 episode of WWE SmackDown.

The new members of Maximum Male Models are Mace, who is now known as “ma.çé” and Mansoor, who will be referred to as “mån.sôör” going forward.

ma.çé and mån.sôör had been tested as group members with Dupri during dark matches. It looks like they impressed WWE officials enough to be used on TV going forward.

Have you been titillated?

WWE will be straying away from its initial test run with a WWE faction.

The company has been dipping its toes in the water with a new stable. Fans took notice of this during dark segments.

The faction in question is being led by Max Dupri, formerly known as LA Knight. Dupri made his main roster debut on the May 20 episode of SmackDown.

During the segment, Dupri revealed he’s the CEO of “Maximum Male Models.” The group had been called “Knight Model Management” in dark segments.

That isn’t the only change, however.

Change of Plans

WrestlingNews.co is reporting that WWE will be ditching plans to have former Retribution member Mace and Mansoor be a part of the faction.

It’s been said that Vince McMahon ultimately made the call. The original plan was for Mace and Mansoor to be reintroduced as heels on the SmackDown brand.

It’ll be interesting to see who ultimately ends up in Max Dupri’s group.
