Maxxine Dupri breaks silence after leaving Alpha Academy on WWE RAW
The Alpha Academy is seemingly no longer together on WWE RAW. Ever since Chad Gable's obsession with the Intercontinental Championship turned him to the dark side, the rest of the group suffered from their leader's bullying.
After months of tolerating it, Otis finally said enough is enough by shoving Gable away. The latter had assaulted Akira Tozawa and also asked Maxxine Dupri to leave the ring.
Maxxine was seen standing up to Master Gable in the ring, which was what led him to force her to leave. Taking to Instagram, she shared a recap of a moment from this segment:
It was during Chad Gable's Clash at the Castle title match against Sami Zayn that Maxxine got hurt. As seen above, she was seen using a crutch on Monday night. Much like the rest of the members in Alpha Academy, she has not won a singles title in WWE yet. In fact, Dupri has not won any title. Whether she branches out on her own or continues her alliance with Otis and Tozawa bears watching.
Chad Gable breaks character to reflect on his heel turn on WWE RAW
Ahead of his Intercontinental Championship match against Sami Zayn in Glasgow, Chad Gable did an interview for the Gorilla Position, in which he touched upon his heel turn. The moment happened in Montreal, Zayn's home turf.
He revealed that while it was an organic turn, the idea for the heel turn was proposed by him only. This is because he knew that after repeatedly failing to win the belt, it only made sense to shake things up. Otherwise, Master Gable believed people would not care about him:
"A bit of both, it was organic in a sense that once it got rolling, we kind of...you never really know what's going to take off with our audience. But I will say the whole idea to turn heel was kind of my idea. I felt like I flatlined as a babyface somewhere around WrestleMania. I came up short against Gunther a few times. Came up short against Sami [Zayn]. At a certain point, something has to change, or people are not going to buy into you any further. I had the idea, 'Let's do it,'" Gable said.
On the latest episode of WWE RAW, Adam Pearce told Gable that if the latter wishes another shot at the Intercontinental Championship, he has to go back in the line and climb back up the ladder.
