Max Dupri appears on WWE SmackDown with Maximum Male Models

Max Durpi appeared as part of the Maximum Male Models stable on SmackDown after there were reports that he was out of the group.

The Maximum Male Models showed off their beachwear line on Friday’s show, which mostly consisted of SummerSlam apparel. The segment ended with both Max and Maxxine Dupri appearing with man.soor and ma.ce, with Max saying they are still looking for more models for their group.

PWTorch reported last week that that Max Dupri, formerly LA Knight in NXT, was out of his role in the Maximum Male Models after he reportedly “rubbed some people the wrong way” and “wasn’t fitting in”. Prior to resigning from the WWE, Vince McMahon made the call to remove him as the mouthpiece of the group. It was said at the time that Max knew he was being replaced on the July 15 appearance of SmackDown when it was announced that his sister, Maxxine, would be introduced the following week.

Maxxine Dupri is the former Sofia Cromwell, who has appeared on television in recent months and was associated with Von Wagner and Mr. Stone. She was written off this week’s NXT show in passing, when Wagner said if she wanted to be a model, he “didn’t give a s***”.
