A well-known performer rejoins SmackDown after supposedly being ejected by Vince McMahon.
On the most recent episode of the program, former NXT star Max Dupri made a comeback to SmackDown after allegedly being forced away by former CEO Vince McMahon.
In his new role as the leader of his new group, Maximum Male Models, Dupri recently made his main roster debut.
He mentored Mansoor and Mace and hosted many fashion events for the blue brand.
According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Vince McMahon fired Max Dupri because he did not like the way a prior Maximum Male Models segment on SmackDown was delivered.
Max Dupri’s Replacement
This week on SmackDown, Max Dupri briefly made his official comeback to WWE TV while Maxxine Dupri hosted a segment showcasing the SummerSlam 2022 collection.
This suggests that Dupri might still be involved with his MMM faction and might make a comeback in the upcoming weeks. Then, Max’s sister Maxxine Dupri was unveiled last week, but Sofia Cromwell made her debut without Max.
When it was revealed that there had been some disputes backstage, Vince McMahon removed Max from the group and replaced him with Maxxine. Fans were ecstatic to see Max back on their television screens as he unexpectedly appeared on WWE TV tonight during the MMM segment, standing with Maxxine.
Fans simply adore Ricker in whatever role he is now playing, as you can see in some of the replies on the following slides, and they are overjoyed to have him back in the mix. Even though I would have preferred it if Triple H had chosen to recast Richer as LA Knight rather than Dupri, I’m just happy to see him back in the picture at all.
NXT Takeover
Vengeance Day, where it was made known that his new ring name would be LA Knight, LA Knight made his WWE debut as a heel. It was announced that Ricker had re-signed with WWE on February 14, 2021. Knight joined forces with Ted DiBiase in May, and he won the Million Dollar Championship by defeating Cameron Grimes. Knight eventually overcame Grimes in The Great American Bash, and as per the terms of the rematch, Grimes was made Knight’s butler. Grayson Waller and Knight got into a fight in October.
A double turn occurred on the NXT program on November 23. Waller turned their heel by criticizing the audience, and Knight turned their face by adopting a fighting spirit attitude.
