From the Dance Floor to the Wrestling Ring: How ‘Total Divas’ Inspired Maxxine Dupri’s WWE Journey

Published on

In the 112th episode of “Out of Character,” Maxxine Dupri, a former professional dancer, sat down with Ryan Satin to discuss her journey into the world of WWE. Dupri, who once graced the courts as a dancer for the Phoenix Suns, revealed that her inspiration to join WWE came from an unexpected source – reality TV.

Dupri confessed her love for the show “Total Divas,” particularly expressing her admiration for The Bella Twins. She recalled how she would gather her friends to watch the show, enthusiastically declaring that this was the path she was going to take next. Despite the stark contrast between her previous career in dance and the world of WWE, Dupri was undeterred. She was drawn to the energy, the drama, and the powerful female figures that dominated the show.

The transition from dance to wrestling may seem like a leap to some, but for Dupri, it was a natural progression. She had been applying for a WWE tryout while still dancing for the Suns. When the opportunity finally came, everything fell into place perfectly. She had just enough time to prepare for the tryout, and her apartment lease was up in 30 days, the exact time she had to move for WWE.

Dupri’s story is a testament to the influence of shows like “Total Divas” and the impact of figures like The Bella Twins. They have not only brought in a whole new female audience but also inspired women like Dupri to step into the ring. Now, as she makes her mark in WWE, Dupri continues to be a testament to the power of following one’s passion, no matter how unconventional the path may seem.
