Maxxine Dupri

[5.0] "She's still super green & I really don't get the IC win they gave her just to take it back away. Maybe being in NXT getting reps would've suited her better in the long run"

[7.0] "Maxxine is very green. She has potential in the ring, but she definitely isn't at the level of most of the main roster women. She has good mic skill, and her character work is pretty entertaining with the Alpha Academy. She has shown improvement in the ring, and I think she could improve enough to be a solid part of the WWE roster but right now is best working on her in ring skills and being a manager where she excels. UPDATE: Decided that she deserved to be bumped up a few points as she continues to improve in the ring."

[8.0] "While valets seem to be underrated, especially in the modern day, it's worth mentioning how good Dupri did with the job of valet. She's not the modern day Miss Elizabeth obviously but she turned the Alpha Academy and Alpha Babes into two of the most over babyface factions as well as did everything in her power to make Maximum Male Models work. Her mic skills have always been amazing! But, now her in-ring improvement is the talk of the town. She already performs at such an incredible rate and she deserves all of the accolades she can receive, Maxxine Dupri is one of the most over babyfaces WWE has right now and it's only up from here."

[7.0] "She really manages to elevate any group she's in. She's a good talker and storyteller and an ok spot wrestler. While she progressed in the ring, I'd love to see her do more than just the 4 moves every match. She's finally being put there and I hope she catches fire. She's very entertaining to watch, charismatic and the crowd genuinely loves her. She has potential to reach Kelly Kelly type of babyface or turn out like Liv someone's who's good in both roles. There's also a potential for a heel turn like Taryn Terell did with the Doll House, with her new gimmick training with Nattie. Either way hope they build her well. They have a little gem in her. She can make them money, literally the place goes on fire for her. That's marketable and she can sell them products."

[1.0] "Without a doubt, Maxine is the worst wrestler in WWE. Repetitive moves without story, charm, and randomness that are not executed well, and of course a ridiculous story and a weak gimmick that has no charm. Maxine is like Jey Uso, she has no creativity and no temporary hype that will soon end.I hope she loses the belt to a real talent like Roxanne Perez or a real wrestler like Bayley soon and becomes a manager again and we don't see her in the ring again."

[10.0] "Showstopping. Iconic. Breathtaking. I absolutely love Maxxine Dupri! She has done such a great job early on as a manager, both with Maximum Male Models and Alpha Academy. She brought new life to both groups, and its crazy because they are both so different! Her first few matches were AMAZING. She had a few flubs in the ring, and people lost their mind. Do they not realize that this is how people learn and get better? She reminds me of Trish Stratus early on, with so much charisma and the desire to learn and get better."

[7.0] "Oof, this is a divisive one, especially after recent events. Look, she's a great character and personality. She was decent as Sofia Cromwell with Stone and Wagner, good for what she was given with the Male Models, an absolute joy to watch as part of Alpha Academy (basically being Otis' next Mandy Rose), and just as endearing post-Gable and with Nattie. She has definitely improved in-ring from when she started but is still far from a great in-ring worker, but that's honestly fine considering the role she's played for most of her career. Probably the only semblance of a push she got before the last month or so was in '23 when she upset Valhalla and got a match vs Ripley, and this Cinderella-esque run for the IC Title gave off similar vibes. It was basically like Gable's chase for the men's IC Title but condensed down to 6 weeks (he's gotta be so jealous lol). I'd give her a 9.5 as a character and a 4.5 as an in-ring performer, which adds up to a 7pts total rating. Even if you don't like her as a performer or are just upset that Becky lost to her when there were admittedly better options available (*cough* AJ *cough*), you have to feel happy for Maxxine, or should I say Sydney, as a person. The reactions from backstage tell the whole story; she's a well-liked member of the locker room that almost nobody is unhappy to see succeed. Congrats on your first title Maxxine, now let's hope WWE doesn't book the division into oblivion like with the Women's US Title."

"Dupri is best suited as a valet. Dupri somehow avoided a tenure in NXT, only has 2 years of experience, and now has a WWE title by beating...Becky Lynch? ! Dupri needs much more training if she wants to wrestle."

[5.0] "She has improved in the ring overtime, and has a likeable character, but i don't really see her winning any championships at the moment."

[7.0] "She lands at a 7 because in my heart she's a 10/10 comedy character who I really miss having a presence on raw. Her matches against Ivy Nile on main event is consistently referred to as the best bout ever (in my friend group) and while she's still green enough as a talent that I know she's really a 5/10 on that axis. If she keeps this up, she'll eventually have a generational feud with Chelsea green, they just have to start booking her again."

[8.0] "The most improved woman's superstar on the roster, so impressed with how she's came along from her silly maxxim male models gimmick to part of the alpha academy under gable, then the story last year where she was pivotal in turning on Chad Gable. Can't praise her enough in ring and she's good fun outside of it by the looks of things too."

[2.0] "Fine as a manager, and she is funny at times. But my god is she an awful wrestler. WWE is doing her and their fans a disservice by just throwing her on TV with no experience. Wishing her the best but yeah, not good."

[0.0] "She's uncoordinated, if she's not then that's her gimmick and her gimmick is shit, she can't bump very well, she appears to not be very athletic which is odd because she was a cheerleader and she can't cut a promo. She's someone who I'm sure is a very nice person outside of wrestling but has no sign of a bright future in wrestling. At least, not in WWE anyway. Again she only trained at the PC with Sara Amato and she's just one of a large number of women who went that route and are awful performers."

[9.0] "I never expected Maxxine to ever fight in the ring. For an amateur, her moves are solid and refined. Despite showing pretty much the same arsenal of moves, she cannot be denied her charisma and the fact that the audience always cheers her on and supports her."

[0.0] "She's the definition of everything that's wrong with the women's wrestling community: only there for her looks, has the charisma of a paint that stays still and never dries, her character work is annoying, her acting is cringy, she's barely improving in the ring, she's not even a good valet and if she wasn't every white male fan's favorite morning-wank she would find herself out of the company a long long time ago, i never understood the hype and never understood why she didn't stick in NXT for long"

[8.0] "Dare I say, she's great at being a valet and her character work. She's really developed over the years. The crazy thing is that she has been trying to improve in the ring, and the alpha academy gimmick / alliance with Natalya somehow looks like its paying off. She still has ways to go in-ring, but her improvement is commendable"

[3.0] "Maxxine is very charismatic and a great manager for Otis and Tozawa, but her in-ring skills are atrocious and her mic skills don't stand out. She is good as a manager though, so she is earning her keep, and she is under 30, so she has time to continue improving."

[2.0] "In terms of in-ring ability Maxxine Dupri is awful and it feels like she still needs a lot more training. On the mic she isn't the worst but definitely not the best either. Overall it feels like she really isn't that valuable and is easily replaceable."

[1.0] "All around very bad. Bad in the ring & offers very little as a manager. She's now been doing the Alpha Academy schtick for so long that she's become extremely boring in that role. WWE is filled with pretty faces, so I need to see more from a performer than just that to buy in. Her character is so one-note that I zone out. Maybe if she ever turns heel that could give her sometime of more substance to work with. But that's a big "if". I see lots of comments saying that she's gotten better in the ring, but I simply don't see that. They hardly let her wrestle & I think there's a reason for that."

[7.0] "She's a great character and, despite filling the role of the jobber, she's a fun character who knows how to maximize her minutes on screen. A lot of charisma and very fun to watch grow into a much more competent wrestler."

[7.0] "I like her, she's got charisma, she's good at showing emotion in the ring, and she's clearly improved as a wrestler. I'm not surprised she has a background in cheerleading with what she can do. I like that the criticism she received lead to her improving fast rather than breaking down and giving up. She has less than 2 years of experience and has become competent in the ring. I don't understand why people at one point booed her at a house show when there are so many wrestlers with far more experience than she has who are actually horrendous in the ring, but nowadays she seems to be much better received by the fans. I think she's earned the respect of many people by now."

[5.0] "At first she suffered from botches in her matches, it has been seen that she wants to progress and improve, that is good since it is seen that she loves this show. I love her in the Alpha Academy since she has good charisma with Otis and Akira."

[6.0] "Maxxine Dupri has been really envolving in her career, it is really incredible to see her development within the weeks passing by, she has a obvious charismatic persona, and within 3 years she has already achieved much more than some women that stayed basically their entire career on the development brand (Aliyah), Dupri is over with the fans, the entire IWC basically loves her, and I predict that in the future, she will be a amazing babyface locker leader, and maybe one day, getting a opportunity to walk inside a WrestleMania ring."

[5.0] "Maxxine is definitely doing well with the pacing WWE is giving her character and rise, the matches she's working, the gimmick she's working, but time will tell whether or not it can be more. I'm hopeful that she can step into a speaking/character work role and start moving the needle a bit more than just her look and signature moves."

[6.0] "Maxxine Dupri has all the tools to become a standout star in WWE's women's division. Her connection with the Alpha Academy has given her a strong platform to grow, and her willingness to embrace her character's quirks makes her memorable. If she continues to improve in the ring and WWE invests in her character development, she could become a key player in the women's division, especially in the tag team or mid-card scene."

[4.0] "Slightly better than Ivy Nile as she can cut a promo, has done a great job as a manager and under Chad Gable's tutorship has clearly improved her ring work (although it's still not anywhere near a world champion level (although saying that The Great Khali was once world champion so maybe it is)) She's a slightly better Ivy Nile"

[3.0] "I have nothing against Maxxine Dupri but I am not fond of her work. She isn't really a good talker and just isn't a good in ring worker. She is really only featured because she is very attractive. But her work as a manager isn't good and I don't take her as a serious in ring competitor. I feel she could do much better in a role like General Manager like Adam Pearce or Nick Aldis. But overall she lacks character but definitely has good aura. But overall she is only a 3."

[3.0] "A decent manager, but nothing exceptional. Her place can easily be justified, however, in teams like Alpha Academy or for short comic stories. Unfortunately her in-ring is ridiculous and it's frustrating to see her get so much face time (especially in the ring) when other talents would deserve more, even still under the HHH era."

[8.0] "As a manager & valet Maxxine has it. The emotions the range the drama she can cut promos and plays her role well of what shes supposed to be in the match. She plays the baby face & heel roles perfectly & she can be entertaining. As a wrestler she struggles more which makes sense. She got signed went to the PC got on tv as a valet in NXT then called up instantly to play LA Knights sister with minimal training & still trying to train while on the road & getting injured. Even still she does her job well making massive improvements in this year shedding away the character that had her doing every move shaky & nervous. As a wrestler shes a 5.5 or 6 as a manager a 10. the thing that solidifies this rating for me is shes not currently involved in anything the Chad Gable feud we couldve gotten with Alpha Academy got scrapped for Wyatt 6 shes not actively wrestling & Alpha is barely on the show."

[4.0] "Definition of a side character. She made us care about her during the Alpha Academy Sami storyline, but now she just exists. She was really good as MXM's manager, but as a face, she is not really appealing to anyone. Her in ring work is lacking (Due to experience), she treats every promo as a soap opera, which is fine....I guess....just less than mid overall....she....exists."

[0.0] "Maxxine Dupri is an awful wrestler and manager. She is by far the worst woman in both divisions. her facial reactions as a manager is bad. Now she is only 1 year into wrestling so obviously she can improve, but by how much? Once Alpha Academy break up what's next for her? She won't do well by herself unless she goes back to NXT."

[5.0] "I really, really like Maxxine as a personality alongside the rest of the Alpha Academy, but it's very clear she was thrown onto the main roster far too quickly, and thrown into matches she wasn't ready for to boot. Seriously - putting her in a match with Rhea! ? Insanity. She should've gone through NXT at the very least, and than she wouldn't have had to put up with the (perhaps) over-the-top hatred she received. I do think she has noticeably improved in 2024, and has been a great part of Gable's heel turn, but she's only now nailing the fundamentals, when nearly everyone else on the women's roster is outstripping her. She isn't terrible, but in Raw's decently talented division, she sticks out. It's also fun that my partner, who isn't into wrestling as much as I am, loves Maxxine as is constantly cheering her on, so it's fun to get behind someone with so much room to improve. Here's to hope that continues!"

[3.0] "She has time and room to improve but right now offers nothing of value to the show and in fact makes every show she is in worse. I want to emphasize that I do not blame the performer for this, but rather I blame the writers who keep putting her in spots and situations where she is set up to fail. She needs more time to develop her character, and that should not be on the main shows. The gimmick of a wrestler learning to wrestle before our eyes is so eye-rollingly asinine that it turns me off the product. I hate the false and forced positivity of what little successes she has because there are countless better workers who are under-utilized for this to happen."

[4.0] "She's a decent manager and at times good on the mic, that's about it. I've enjoyed Maxxine and her work so far, but I feel like her in-ring skills lower her rating. When she had her first match I was just as excited as the next person, but since then I feel like her matches have been too short or just bad. She'll get better with time, most people do, and when she does I'll have no problem making her rating higher. For now I think she should work more live events to polish up some issues in the ring and maybe work some Main Event matches to get used to being in front of the larger crowds."

[4.0] "The problem with Maxxine was giving him struggles, I think he worked well as a manager, which he still does but his prime was very fleeting."

[1.0] "Rating her as a wrestler, and not as a manager. I don't give 1 ratings lightly, so I first took a look at the other wrestlers I have given a similar score to and decided whether she is a better wrestler than any of them, and the answer was clearly no. Maxxine Dupri has probably been training to wrestler for at least a year, but her level of skill is still far, far below the level of talent that would be expected of even someone on NXT Level Up. It doesn't make sense to me why the WWE is having her wrestle on the main roster, where she clearly stands out for her lack of talent."

[3.0] "The 3 points are solely based on her supporting character to the Alpha Academy, wrestling-wise, she is a 1. I feel I, with no wrestling experience, would do better in the ring, she acts like she is uncertain about what she's doing in the ring, takes no hard-hitting bumps, and hesitates on everything she does. Not saying any of this isn't fixable, I'm sure in a few years she'll improve if she stays with WWE but right now, a 4 is where she sits."

[4.0] "she's shaping up to be fine. they're no putting her in any serious matches and her gimmick "a wrestler in training" fits perfect with her training in real life. she has the charisma, I hope she keeps at it in the ring and gets more practice in. at best, she can be a great wrestler that sorta pays homage to the diva era. at worst, I think she can be an amazing manager cause when she was apart of mmm she killed the promos and videos they did on there YouTube, where she was stuck up and had attitude perfect for a heel."

[2.0] "Maxxine is not a good wrestler in any way shape or form. She has little to nothing to offer from a character perspective. she's not a good promo. And when it comes to her in-ring work it is horrible, littered with botches and miscommunications. In the Royal Rumble she botched just about every spot she had. In the tag match with Akira Tozawa vs Ivar and Valhalla the most memorable moment was her botching a move in the corner. she should be sent back to NXT and learn and get better or go back to being a manager"

"Not giving Maxxine a rating (YET) due to her still being very early into her wrestling career, she just started wrestling not so long ago, but she's been a breath of fresh air on Monday Night RAW as an underdog apart of Alpha Academy after managing the Maximum Male Models stable, which is a step up from MMM. WWE management are not doing Maxxine any favors by sending her to wrestle at live events despite being green and judging by the recent reactions of videos seen on social media (even Rhea chimed in on this), unless they are planning on turning her heel and set up an angle, she's being set up to fail, which is just sad because she has charisma and mic skills to succeed. I think WWE should be having her getting reps on NXT Level Up or at the Performance Center before putting her in regular matches on Live TV."

[1.0] "Really shouldn't be wrestling if you want me to be honest. I watched the Rumble off and on and every moment with her was agonizingly embarrassing with her "skill." She really didn't seem to have any role except to cut in here and there and has only won 3 matches with 2 of them being in matches where Chad and Otis did the heavy lifting for her. She may be attractive, but when you take away her managing style, you are left with less than nothing. She's very uncertain on her feet and thinks Chad's stupid "shush" gimmick is fun. It's annoying, stupid, and makes the 2 of them look like idiots. She needs to find her own character and build upon it. I know she's had less than a year, but I've seen other rookies who are very green get over organically or get over due to who they're siding with. Alpha Academy is NOT it. You have a former 24/7 hunter, an undersized kinda Olympian, and a rotund comedy guy. So, she's the "woman" and nothing else. She should either find a new faction (maybe Chase U.) or go back to NXT and train more. I'm sure there's something to be found, but right now, I would need a microscope to see it."

[7.0] "She is trying and is showing that she really wants to become a professional wrestler, I watched one match she got against Nia Jax on a live event and certainly I do think she can turn into something good. I was kind of annoy with her lack of in-ring skills, but there was a comment in here that made me remember the fact that as part of her in-ring persona she is supposed to be unnexperienced, so even the botches help her to deal with that. She has charisma and can turn heat on the crowd, would see what she can do next."

[5.0] "The thing with Maxxine Dupri, despite how abysmal she is in the ring, is that they really do play on that factor of knowing she is not good, but that's what makes her character and role entertaining. Being paired with Alpha Academy was a good choice. All of it needs work if she ever wants to go beyond the comedic role and a back-supporting character. I can't really rate her anything highly, but I suppose a simple 5 is very generous enough."

[7.0] "Character wise, she is amazing. She is funny and she has a lot of charisma. Wrestling wise, she is trying. She is working to get better and we can't completely judge her, especially for having less than ten matches. She needs experience. She needs ring time. I think now that she is starting to wrestle at live events, it could boost her confident. She is making everything work and taking everything in stride."

[6.0] "You know what? I'm going to defend Maxxine here. She is making an effort to learn & get better. I have a feeling she will. Is she perfect? In-ring wise, no. Physically, she is quite possibly the most beautiful woman on earth. Or, at least one of them."

[3.0] "I don't understand why WWE treats her how they do. Having her do matches on the main roster at this point in her career is ridiculous. She's shown repeatedly that she is not able to handle that. If she has any chance of getting better then she needs time in Nxt. That's why you have that brand! She has charisma and athletic ability, but she needs to have a chance to learn how to wrestle, not be thrown into the fire of main roster matches."

[1.0] "What I have seen so far has been abysmal. After the botchariffic performance in the rumble I decided to check out more of her and was left unimpressed and then some. She is gangly and unable to control her limbs at times. She looks unsure of what to do with her arms throughout the match and over exaggerates all of her movements. Her selling is cartoonish. As if Olive Oil came to life and began a wrestling career. She has size, kind of. She looks tall but no weight or strength behind it. Overall she scores a 1 for having an above average look, but well below average in every other facet."

[3.0] "Just saw her in the Royal Rumble, she was awful. I dont really think she was a future wrestling, she should just be a manager or whatever. She probably wont last long in the company, but who knows, maybe ill be wrong and give her a better rating later"

[10.0] "If you've watched the Maximum Male Models show on Youtube, you'd know he gifted this girl is, she's entertaining, can be serious when she wants to be, and is definetely set to do big things in the future by leading top stars to the top. Edit: Shown ever more good potential being apart of Alpha Academy."

[6.0] "I changed my opinion about Maxxine. I believe that after breaking with MMM and merging with AA, she has become a valuable and entertaining part of the roster. I'm looking forward to more of her fight"
