The Alpha Academy member Maxxine Dupri recently took to her Instagram account and posted a series of pictures. One of the pictures saw her sunbathing in a pink bikini.
WWE Superstar Maxxine Dupri transitioned from a pro wrestling valet to a wrestler. Chad Gable, who recruited her into the Alpha Academy, praised her highly. She started with NXT in 2022 as a valet for Von Wagner, then moved to Friday Night SmackDown and joined the Maximum Male Models faction with LA Knight, Mace, and Mansoor, but the group did not reach its full potential. She is now a part of The Alpha Academy with Akira Tozawa and Otis.
In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on INSIGHT, Chad Gable discussed the quick progression of the 27-year-old WWE female star. He revealed that The Alpha Queen has been learning to wrestle on live television, week after week.
“How unique of a situation to where she’s [Maxxine Dupri] really learning to wrestle week by week in front of a live TV audience. Because at the time she wasn’t even doing live events, all she was doing was coming to TV and learning there to work, and then go into the Performance Center in Orlando. But we got to a point where we knew she was going to start having some singles matches. And to her credit, she asked me to get in the ring with her at shows before TV and stuff, which of course I did,” Gable said.
Gable also admired Dupri’s dedication to mastering old-school wrestling fundamentals under his guidance, rather than focusing on flashy, modern moves.
“So we would work on, I kept telling her let’s do the basics, because we’re at a level and with our company I think what’s most appreciated and to me, at least what stands out the most with new people is when they do the basic things really, really well. Not some flashy new flip or something or new move that looks cool, that doesn’t impress me. Someone doing the old-school stuff really well and snug and they were taught properly, that impresses me,” he added. [H/T: CVV]
