The Maximum Male Models stable is set for another transformation. Initially conceptualized by Vince McMahon with LA Knight as Max Dupri, the male model manager, the group saw the addition of Maxxine Dupri before Triple H took the reins and made significant changes.
Under Triple H’s leadership, LA Knight reclaimed his NXT name, but the Maximum Male Models continued their journey. Now, another change is on the horizon. As Sean Sapp of Fightful reported, Mace and Mansoor’s association with Maxxine Dupri is due for a revamp. The details of this repackage remain sparse, but it’s clear that the team has experienced a rollercoaster ride since its inception.
“Fightful has learned that Mansoor and Mace may be repackaged, with details few and far between as to what that means. Their time on the WWE roster as a team has been tumultuous. First, Max Dupri was put with the team because Vince McMahon hadn’t seen him as an in-ring talent, then rechristened LA Knight because Triple H and his regime saw star potential in him. Maxxine Dupri was effectively pulled from MMM and put with Chad Gable and Otis full-time. Interestingly enough, Maxxine was booked for a recent WWE party as a part of Maximum Male Models.”
Sources within WWE creative reveal that while McMahon was initially enthusiastic about Maximum Male Models, he didn’t want them to be “flamboyant.” This direction was adjusted under Triple H, who encouraged flamboyance. However, since McMahon’s return, this aspect has been significantly toned down, as has their general usage.
The future of Maximum Male Models is uncertain, but it’s clear that a makeover is in the works. As always, the outcome for all members involved remains to be seen.
