Maxxine Dupri Justifies Her Recent Actions Joining The Vision, Abandoning Alpha Academy

During a recent interview with Complex Graps, WWE Superstar and former Women’s Intercontinental Champion Maxxine Dupri addressed her recent actions, aligning with Austin Theory and The Vision, along with leaving Alpha Academy’s Otis and Akira Tozawa. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Maxxine Dupri on Why She Joined The Vision

“I mean, so much has changed, so much has happened in the past year, the past six months. I won my first title. I lost my first title. I lost a lot of opportunities. I wasn’t being given opportunities. I was continuing to be overlooked, but, not by Austin (Theory) of course, and I think I just came to a point where at some point, you have to choose yourself and I chose me and I did what needed to be done.”

On Austin Theory

“I mean, have you seen him? The answer’s pretty clear, and I wanna be with the best of the best. You are the average of the five people you surround yourself with and so, I’m gonna surround myself with the best.”

On Why She’s Leaving Alpha Academy

“It just got to a point where I had to choose me. I’ve been choosing them for years, and that hasn’t gotten me anywhere. Also, let’s not forget, all those times when Becky (Lynch) was getting disqualified and purposely doing things so that I couldn’t win the title, where were they? Were they ever ringside for me? So, I had to do that on my own, and then, when I lost it, thanks to Nattie, where were they? So to me, it’s like, it’s not personal; it’s just about me choosing me but no one has been choosing me. Literally no one, and Austin (Theory) has chosen me so I’m choosing him and I’m choosing Maxxine.”

During Monday Night Raw earlier this week, Dupri turned heel, helping The Vision (Austin Theory and Bron Breakker) regain the World Tag Team Titles from The Street Profits.
