During the January 20 episode of Monday Night RAW, a brief backstage interaction between Maxxine Dupri and Natalya occurred before Sami Zayn’s entrance. The segment showed Dupri speaking with Natalya, who was looking at her phone.
The interaction holds significance due to their established relationship. During a SummerSlam press junket in 2023, Dupri identified Natalya as one of her mentors in WWE, alongside Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, Nikki Cross, Emma, and Dana Brooke.
Maxxine Dupri’s Current Role in WWE
Maxxine Dupri joined WWE’s main roster in 2022 as a manager for Maximum Male Models on SmackDown before transitioning to Alpha Academy in 2023. While she has competed in matches throughout the past year, sources indicate a potential character shift could help establish her as a full-time competitor.
