WWE gives major hint about popular star's future during recent show

WWE might have dropped a hint about the future of a popular star. This name has not wrestled on TV for the past few weeks.

Maxxine Dupri has spent most of her time on the main roster as part of Alpha Academy. However, she has had limited experience in the ring. In recent weeks, she has been teaming up with Natalya. She even challenged Becky Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship on the August 11 episode of RAW. However, she has not competed in a televised match since then. This is because the sports entertainment juggernaut may have bigger plans for her.

Outside of the ring, Maxxine Dupri has been in a relationship with Anthony Luke since 2023. Luke signed with the Stamford-based promotion last year and has been a part of WWE LFG. The couple even announced their engagement on Christmas Eve 2024. On October 4, Luke teamed up with Maxxine against Arianna Grace and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo at an NXT house show in Gainesville, Florida. This is the third time that these two have teamed up at a house show.

Maxxine and her fiancé faced the same team at an NXT house show on September 13 and 27. This could be WWE's way of testing the waters before making Maxxine and Luke an onscreen pair in the future.

Is Triple H getting overconfident? Here are the signs!

Natalya shows support for Maxxine Dupri ahead of her match on WWE RAW

A few weeks ago, Maxxine Dupri formed a tag team with Natalya called The Dungeon Dolls. They teamed up during the Main Event and on RAW, and they were also seen in backstage segments. Maxxine hasn't competed in a televised match since her bout against Becky Lynch on the August 11 episode of RAW. She will step into the ring against The Man this week on the red brand.

Ahead of this match, Natalya took to Instagram to share a video of Maxxine's training. She also noted the advice she offered the young star before every practice session.

"Before every practice, I challenge @maxxinedupri to think about everyone who’s ever doubted her and told her she wasn’t enough. Remember the ones who didn’t believe in you and then channel that energy when you’re tapping them out. Energy always matching energy. Stop at nothing. Remind them of who the **** you are," she wrote.

It will be interesting to see if Maxxine can defeat Becky Lynch this week on WWE RAW.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
