[2] Maximum Male Models later welcomed Maxxine Dupri, Max's (kayfabe) sister, to manage the team. Max ended his relationship with Maximum Male Models on the September 30 episode of SmackDown and reverted as LA Knight the following week. [3] [4]

Maximum Male Models joined the Raw brand on February 6, 2023, and remained on Raw following the 2023 WWE Draft.
