The man once known as LA Knight in NXT has officially arrived on SmackDown.
Entering Adam Pearce's office during the May 20 episode, Max Dupri introduced himself as the CEO of the hottest new modeling agency, 'Maximum Male Models.' He says that tonight the discovery begins of a new generation of WWE Superstars who can headline both Paris Fashion Week and WrestleMania.
Pearce was unaware that Durpi was arriving, though, as former WWE Official Sonya Deville never informed him of Max's signing. Regardless, Dupri is ready to get to work.
