"Max Dupri" is, of course, the new ring name of former NXT wrestler LA Knight, who debuted for SmackDown last Friday. Involved in a backstage segment with authority figure Adam Pearce, Dupri's first televised main roster appearance served to establish his upcoming stable, Maximum Male Models, which has been trialled in several dark segments lately.
