Before making a transition into the character of Max Dupri, he had indefinite popularity that he earned in NXT as The L.A. Knight.

When Dupri arrived on SmackDown, people were ecstatic as they knew the potential Dupri was bringing with him to the Blue Brand. However, as the owner of Maximum Male Models, he was not feeling his element and the audience was not able to get behind the faction as well.

Now, PWInsider in an exclusive report has revealed that Dupri would be continuing as LA Knight. The report also said that the Maximum Male Models will continue along with Mace and Mansoon with Dupri’s sister Maxxine Dupri managing its affairs.

Overall, LA Knight is a much better character than Max Dupri and resonates more with his personality. Moreover, the creative decision to scrap off the gimmick can also be the result of the new power dynamics of the company as it is believed to be a storyline initiated by Vince McMahon.

But, since he is not associated with the company, the new creatives would have thought that it would be wise to give Max a main character role rather than being engaged in these storylines. However, it still needs to be seen what exactly WWE has planned for Max Dupri a.k.a The L.A. Knight.
