Maxxine Dupri On What Being Women’s IC Champion Means To Her & Becky Lynch’s Social Media Outbursts

Maxxine Dupri is currently riding high as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion. The Alpha Academy member dethroned Becky Lynch as Women’s IC Champion last month on RAW. She has since defended it successfully against Ivy Nile and is now set to put it on the line against The Man on the January 5, 2026, episode of Monday Night RAW.

Dupri has come a long way in a short span of time as an in-ring performer. She has been training under Natalya at The Dungeon, and the results so far have been quite impressive. During a recent appearance on The Wrestling Classic podcast, Maxxine Dupri was asked to explain what it means to be the Women’s Intercontinental Champion.

She stated that it means everything to her, as it’s a reflection of her journey as an in-ring performer. The 28-year-old wants to savor the moment but is aware that she can’t rest on her laurels.

“Oh my gosh, it is everything. It is everything to me. It truly means, though, that the journey, the ups, the downs, the hard work, the anxious nights, the times where I was like, ‘Oh, I wish I could erase that match!’ And then the times that I feel proud of myself, all of it, is [SIC] finally worth it. That is what this means to me. It’s just the first step, you know. It’s so awesome, and I’m so grateful, and I’m so excited, and I want to just celebrate and soak in the moment, but I can’t because, you know, I had Ivy Nile on Monday, and I could have anyone after me next. Becky is still going non-stop online. So, I’m sure at some point she will be clawing at Adam Pearce for a rematch, and I have to be ready!”

Ever since she dropped the title to Maxxine, Becky Lynch has been consistently going off on social media, blaming everyone but herself for her defeat. On Becky’s social media outbursts, Maxxine said:

“I live rent-free in her head. I got DIRECTV, I got a recliner, and I’m relaxing up there, you know; it’s good with me. The more people [are obsessed]. Ah, perfect! Get in line!”
