LA Knight is back, with “Max Dupri” officially going back to his previous NXT moniker tonight on SmackDown and ending his relationship with Maximum Male Models.
After dissension for the past few weeks, LA Knight laid out ma.çé and mån.sôör with a chair backstage tonight. Maxxine Dupri ran in screaming at him, saying, “Max, what were you thinking?” He said, “Do not call me that name again. I gave you and them gold and y’all turned it into trash. You think I’m just gonna hang out here and be something I’m not? Nah. What I’m not? Max. What I am, who I am? LA Knight.”
