Maxxine Dupri

[6.0] "Maxine is overall a great character. She's a natural lovable babyface but also can be a scheming heel. And I think people dont see the value of a good actor who contributes to storylines. I enjoyed her IC title run very much. She played the underdog babyface to perfection but she can use bit more reps and training in her wrestling. She's now playing a pretty good valet to Theory too. I also love how she's used on main event and in multi women matches to get reps and continue to improve. Again very strong character work and on the path of being a solid wrestler in 1-2 years."

[3.0] "Maxxine isn't great in-ring, and outside of the ring it's not like her promo game is legendary. She currently is Austin Theory's valet, and I feel like that booking decision may be how WWE sees her best aptitude in: as eye candy."

[3.0] "Not really sure what I can say about her because there's not much being shown right now, she agreed to be Austin theory's valet and now her career just feels like a dead end. Maxxine was actually improving pinned Becky, had support from AJ and pinned Nattie. It all went wrong with this storyline with the vision."

[5.0] "Underrated utility player whom was thrown into the deep-end without learning to swim first. She visibly struggles throughout matches at various points, but on the broken-clock's-right-once-a-day situations, she can pull through and commit to a lovable underdog aesthetic that can connect & create enjoyable sequences. She's being used incorrectly as a heel with a bad stable right now, and that's not her fault. She's fun on mic & her title reign was fun. I just wish they would have given her more reps."

[2.0] "The biggest failure in the women's division. I had hopes for her in 2024. But looking at it in 2025 and 2026, it disgusts me. Almost complete absence of in-ring skills and charisma. Good athleticism, but it doesn't help her in any way. Now that she's in the Vision, she looks like an Austin Theory whore, nothing more, nothing less, and looking at her in the ring just disgusts me."

[4.0] "maxxine is a very weird wrestler. she's not BAD but she's not particularly good either. she's just ok. i'm still baffled as to why she had an ic title reign because she's still not ready for a singles title by any means. she's got charisma and good mic skills, but that can only take you so far when you're mid in the ring. it feels as though she's being extremely cautious in every match and tries to not mess up, but it makes her performances look incredibly awkward. i think some time in nxt would've benefited her greatly. the stuff with austin theory is also very cringe."

"Maxxine clearly has had the proverbial rocket strapped on her back by WWE creative, but I don't see her as excelling in any particular area other than her looks. She's not great on the mic and not great at wrestling. There are people saying she is young and has time to improve, but she's 29 already. What you are seeing from her now is likely as good as she is going to get."

[7.0] "She's doing pretty well for herself. For someone called up to the main roster with a trashy name initially like "Sofia Cromwell" and I shouldn't be expecting big things from her but, she's pretty content and competent with everything she does. I don't expect Maxxine to ever put on a 20+ minute match but, not everybody should and can do something like that. Plays a snotty nosed heel really well when she was with the Maximum Models and plays a likeable babyface as efficiently as she can. Not a top-of-the-line worker but, having someone like her on the roster is needed and I thought she was better than someone say where Lana is at -- the Lana/Liv/Bobby Lashley love triangle from 2019 anyone? -- in terms of character work and wrestling skills. Props to her for trying at least and improving over the years."

[3.0] "She has a good look and has natural charisma but her biggest problem is she's just green and you can tell she's green when she gets into the ring. It's not her fault either, at least not really, they've thrown this girl to the wolves with all her matches being on live TV where theres a ton of pressure to not mess up and you can tell she gets tripped up because she's not experienced enough to be working on live TV like that. Maxxine is someone who would benefit from house shows and wrestling in front of smaller crowds with no cameras. I don't think she's bad, she's still very young and experience comes with time and she has plenty of that. I just think they could help her better by not having her learn in front of a live audience on Netflix."

[7.0] "Maxxine has put a lot of work and I think she's decent. She has a natural charisma and has translated well to wrestling, like other dancers who came before her."

[3.0] "I'll start with the few positive. She has a good look , has some charisma and cuts okay promos at time . She also is a baby who did get a good pop when she won the ic title. Maxxine is a decent worker untill she gets between the ropes I will say she has improved slightly since her awful main roster debut a few years ago but for me there's still way to many botches and missed time awkward spots . She is athletic I give her that that's not the issue. Also her selling sometimes just looks awkward or like she accidentally no sold and took the bump anyway. I think she's falled victim to being put on the main roster when she wasn't ready . I see potential but there over exposing her to a large audience when she's not ready.atleast with developmental she would be able to improve in front of a smaller audience and receive less scrutiny from the larger audience"

[4.0] "She's not the greatest of all time in the ring, but she's sure as hell has improved from when she started and it shows, Plus, she's decent on the mic. She's trying to get better but I'm not really seeing it just yet."

[5.0] "It was hard to see her progress, but there's some, although she still needs to work hard and work hard. She needs a lot of work both in the ring and on the mic. She's really lost on the main roster, and if you're looking to build something out of her, she should be transferred to NXT."

[2.0] "She's charismatic and I understand she's popular amongst WWE fans but she's still a largely inadequate worker, she's going into her 3rd year now and has barely improved. I don't exactly think WWE has done enough for her (or many other full WWE trained performers post-Vince for that matter) in giving her chances to improve and gain experience. As of writing she has only had 65 matches total, many of, if not the majority have been short or multi-person matches where she doesn't even need to be in the ring. I don't have faith that her in ring ability will improve and catch up to her charisma as long as she continues under the current match time/match frequency circumstances in WWE."

[3.0] "Compared to a few years ago, Maxxine Dupri has improved a lot and is definitely hardworking. However, something still isn't clicking for her. Her time with the IC title didn't do much for her character or push, in my opinion. That said, she has one of the best-looking kip-ups in the business, and that's worth noting. She still has potential, but the right booking and character direction haven't really clicked yet. She is only 28 which in wrestling life is very young."

[4.0] "When she won the intercontinental championship i thpugh she would finally be a proved wrestler and she would have a good title reings but i mean she lost her title to Becky in her second defence (But first defence to Beckys) like she was finally get the push by wwe and it was her luck to prove wwe universe her skills and talent here but she was such a disappointment here but in future i believe Maxxine is gonna be proved wrestler"

[0.0] "Her mic skills are terrible; she can't even cut a promo. And her in-ring skills are by far the lowest in the company, including NXT. She's not good enough to be in any ring other than the Performance Center. To make matters worse, she received a completely unjustified push, being given the International Championship over any other wrestler in the company, whom are far more talented and better prepared. She also shows no signs of having potential."

[0.0] "I mean has she improved? Yeah but that's not saying much at all. If you feel like a transitional champion then you're doing something wrong. I don't get why they put the belt on her as she's not deserving of it in my opinion. She's still very green in her matches and sometimes looks very lost like she has absolutely no idea what the hell she is doing in her matches. EDIT: Yeah I'm not seeing it. She had one solid match with Becky, that's all. I'm not going to higher a rating because of that."

[5.0] "I like her a lot as an on-screen character, I thought she was fantastic at the height of Alpha Academy. Can't really say I've gotten into her as a wrestler though."

[2.0] "I don't get the hype WWE see's in her. She's pretty trash in the ring and her mic skills is just bad as well. I get she's trying to improve, I'll give her that, but even with that, she's just not doing it for me. Her Ic title reign was trash and didn't elevate her at all."

[10.0] "Maxxine Dupri has showed the most improvement of any wrestler in 2025. Her segments, promos, and matches are almost always the highlight of the night that they happen. If she wasn't a wrestler she would be a great actress and she's great at playing the crowd for how new she still is. I think Maxxine shows a level of star power that some wrestlers who are better in the ring don't show. She has made the IC championship come to life in a way that only someone who lives in the division can do, it's one thing to put the belt over or hold it between world championships but I think Maxxine has covered out a real legacy for the belt. All and all Maxxine should be given more major opportunities in the future."

[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."

[0.0] "Maxine trains wrestling supposedly, wears wrestling gear and gets paid for her wrestler job but she is just not a wrestler. She didn't train on the PC, she didn't go through NXT, she went straight to the main roster. She was given opportunities just because of her looks and that's just wrong. People have to be brainrot to say that this girl is good or as improved. You got real wrestlers like Kairi, Roxane, Raquel or even Ivy to put your midcard title on them, being simply the companions of and you make this maxine girl a champion. Nope, not for me."

[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."

[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."
