Max Dupri now listed as LA Knight internally

[Dale]

As we saw on last Friday's Smackdown, Max Dupri broke with Maximum Male Models.

PWInsider.com has confirmed that, as some of you may have suspected, he will indeed be back as L.A. Knight ASAP.

Internally, he is already back to being listed as such on the company's internal roster. So, he'll be back in his former NXT gimmick going forward.

We are told that The Maximum Male Models group with Mace and Mansoor are currently slated to continue on with Maxine Dupree.​

I knew there was next to no chance but it i was really hoping he could go back to Eli Drake lol I really never cared for the LA Knight name all that much

 

[John McHenry]

I wonder how they'll address this storyline wise? Do they acknowledge he was LA Knight in NXT I mean that'd be odd right?

About damn time that LA Knight has returned and this shell of his former self is gone.

Ngl I was a fan of Max Dupri and wished he was around a little bit longer but you can never get enough of Mr LA Knight.

Maximum Male Models, fun idea which he did well (and I think they'll be still great as the trio as a fun comedy team). But it is time we got back to the man formerly known as E-Li Drake as...

If Hunter has plans for him as LA Knight... I'm all for it

Wonder if they'll move him to RAW to completely separate him from Maximum Male Models. Would make sense to do so really.

Yeah my question is how do you explain him becoming LA Knight all of the sudden. Guys get name changes all the time but for the most part they’re subtle(minus Aichner becoming Vinci).

But most guys on the main roster just lose a first or last name. How does he go from Max Dupri to LA Knight?

Worked shoot on how stupid the modeling gimmick was would probably work lol and then also make people mad for criticizing Vince indirectly

Just act like Max Dupri was his real name and since he's cutting ties with the group, he's going back to his alter ego. Really doesn't need anything more than that, shit will be forgotten about in weeks.

Dude will probably make a shit ton of money off “Dummy, Yeah?!” merch

Still think that promo is ridiculous considering it was the most over Hager has ever been in wrestling
