WWE Hall Of Famer Praises Women’s Intercontinental Champion Maxxine Dupri

A WWE Hall of Famer has praised Maxxine Dupri following her recent Women’s Intercontinental Championship win.

Dupri won the title from Becky Lynch on the November 17 episode of Raw following a distraction caused by the returning AJ Lee, which paved the way for Lee and Lynch to enter the women’s WarGames match on opposite sides this weekend.

The win for Dupri marked her first championship win in what was only the 50th match of her entire career. For comparison, Lynch is comfortably over 1000 matches on record in her career.

Even after winning the title, Dupri is still working WWE NXT live events to continue her development, as she defended and retained the championship against Lainey Reid this past week.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame show, WWE Hall of Famer and NXT announcer Booker T praised Dupri for the work she’s put in, saying:

“Maxxine’s been putting a lot of work in. I know she’s been working with Natalya a lot, and that right there, that experience is invaluable, being able to work with somebody like Natalya.

“This business is about putting the work in, and hopefully – hopefully – you get rewarded for it. And Maxxine has been doing work.

“And the thing is, I always say, you’ve gotta be dependable, they’ve gotta be able to trust you. Maxxine Dupri is somebody that they know they can trust.

“She’s at every show. You guys may not see her on every television show, but I see her.

“I’ve seen her grinding, coming through that airport, hoodie on, just trying to get to that next show and trying to progress and trying to learn as much as she possibly can.

“And now, I look at her and say, yeah, give her a shot. She passes that airport test with flying colors.

“She’s amazing. She’s a beautiful girl, but she doesn’t act like it. That’s what’s crazy with her, she doesn’t act like it at all.

“But being in that position now, definitely she’ll be able to be highlighted and show exactly what Maxxine Dupri is all about.”
