Report: Max Dupri done with WWE’s Maximum Male Models faction

Max Dupri is reportedly out as the mouthpiece for Maximum Male Models on SmackDown. 

According to a report from PW Torch, the former LA Knight “rubbed some people the wrong way and wasn’t fitting in.” Vince McMahon made the decision weeks ago to remove him as the leader and mouthpiece of the group. Max Dupri will be replaced by his storyline sister, Maxxine Dupri, in the role. 

Max Dupri announced in a promo on the July 15 episode of SmackDown that his sister would appear on this week’s show. He is said to have known at the time that it would be his final performance under the gimmick. 

Sofia Cromwell (Sydney Zmrzel) was revealed as Maxxine Dupri in a segment on the July 22 edition of SmackDown. The former LA Rams and Phoenix Suns cheerleader was signed to WWE earlier this year. She had been appearing with Mr. Stone and Von Wagner on NXT in recent weeks. 

Sofia Cromwell revealed as Maxxine Dupri on WWE SmackDown

Maxxine Dupri, as it turns out, is the former Sofia Cromwell.

In a segment that aired before Friday’s SmackDown main event, Cromwell appeared, identified now as Maxxine Dupri, Max Dupri’s sister. She said that her brother had good taste, and the Maximum Male Models would debut their beachwear line next week.

Cromwell, real name Sydney Zmrzel, is a former Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Rams cheerleader who signed with the WWE earlier this year. In recent weeks, she has been seen with Mr. Stone and Von Wagner. In a segment that aired two weeks ago on NXT, she was the only one who was able to calm down Wagner after he and Solo Sikoa brawled around the WWE Performance Center.

Since making their debut earlier this month, Max Durpi (the former LA Knight), the Maximum Male Models, ma.cé and mån.sôör, have shown off their fashionwear, most recently presenting their tennis line. They have pushed the tagline as “to titillate the juices of their guilty pleasures”.
