On the recent episode of Raw, a 26-year-old superstar had the toughest challenger of her career in the form of Rhea Ripley. The superstar in question is Alpha Academy’s Maxxine Dupri. The young star has been on the main roster for over a year now. Despite this, Dupri has a long way to go in terms of wrestling skills. Her recent opponent, Rhea Ripley, struggled to deliver her finishing move due to a rookie mistake by Dupri.

The latest episode of Raw featured the Alpha Academy member taking on the Women’s World Champion. Given the former’s lack of wrestling expertise, the announcement of the match elicited mixed reactions from the WWE Universe. When the match ultimately took place, it fell flat and didn’t turn out the way the 26-year-old might have hoped.

The singles action between Maxxine and Rhea was replete with a flurry of botches by the former. Ripley attempted to position Dupri for a Riptide twice, only for the latter to botch it every time. The nightmare struggled to lift Maxxine each time. However, the second time around, she managed to execute the finishing maneuver, but it was still slightly clumsy due to Dupri’s rookie mistake.

When the Eradicator lifted the 26-year-old, she inadvertently hooked her legs between Ripley’s legs. The latter accidentally ended up shoving her legs against the champion’s thighs, causing an imbalance. Moreover, the recent bout clearly shows that Maxxine Dupri is an amateur who needs to take a step back and learn the ropes. In addition, this was only her sixth overall and second singles match in WWE.

The Eradicator reminded the WWE Universe yet again why Mami is always on top. The champion utterly demolished Alpha Academy’s Maxxine Dupri in the recent one-on-one action on Raw. After the match, the 27-year-old had a cold staredown with Maxxine’s newfound ally, Ivy Nile, teasing a potential feud between the two powerhouses.

The aforementioned match was steeped in botches. But the Nightmare clinched a quick win against the 26-year-old. Ripley locked Dupri in the Prism Trap to score the victory. But even after the bell rang, the Nightmare continued to punish the latter. As a result, Dupri’s friend, Ivy Nile, had to step up to save her friend. Ripley let go of Dupri in time.

Then the two women came face-to-face in what was deemed an intense staredown. Moreover, Ivy Nile is a member of the Diamond Mine stable, which also comprises the Creed Brothers. The trio recently made their debut on the Raw brand. The latter are slated for a first-ever tag team title opportunity against The Judgment Day next week. Meanwhile, Nile is likely to receive a greater spotlight in the upcoming weeks.
