Report: Maximum Male Models, Los Lotharios moved to WWE Raw

Five members of the SmackDown roster have reportedly been moved to Raw. 

According to a report from PWInsider, Maxxine Dupri, Mace, and Mansoor of the Maximum Male Models as well as Los Lotharios, Angel Garza & Humberto Carrillo, have switched brands. 

The Maximum Male Models had been assigned to SmackDown since the act debuted last summer but were shown in a backstage segment on Raw last week. Dupri appeared to take a particular interest in Otis after Alpha Academy walked by the models in the hallway. 

Los Lotharios and Maximum Male Models were both eliminated in the first round of the recent tag team title contender tournament on SmackDown. The models lost to Legado del Fantasma and Los Lotharios lost to Hit Row. 

The two teams join a Raw tag team division that includes The Street Profits, Anderson & Gallows, Judgment Day, and American Alpha. Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin have teamed together twice recently on WWE programming as well.
