I guess he didn’t fit? There are a lot of storylines in wrestling and some of them have to include some very specific wrestlers. Some of the stories are just not going to work with the wrong people in there and sometimes you have to make the right kind of adjustments. That seems to be the case again in WWE, as someone has been moved out of a story that was built around him in the first place.

According to Pro Wrestling Torch, Max Dupri is done with the Maximum Male Models stable, with his sister Maxxine Dupri taking his place as of this week’s SmackDown. Max was said to not be fitting in and “rubbing some people the wrong way”. There is no word on what is next for Max in WWE. According to Fightful Select, Vince McMahon had the idea for the character and wanted Max to be nothing like LA Knight from NXT. Max would also challenge the writers for what he was being told to say. McMahon’s retirement could be seen as a positive for Max, who has supporters in WWE and could get another opportunity.

Opinion: The writing seemed to be on the wall as soon as Maxxine was announced, as she was instantly a better fit for the story than Max. I’m still not sure what the point was in having Max go into such a different character but at least Mace and Mansoor are still going to have something to do. Max getting something to do would be great, as he is way too talented to leave sitting on the sidelines.

What do you think of the change? How do you see the stable going? Let us know in the comments below.
