History edit

WWE (2022–2023) edit

On April 22, 2022 in a dark segment on SmackDown, Mansoor turned heel for the first time in WWE when he was announced as the newest member of LA Knight's stable, Knight Model Management alongside Mace.[1] On the July 1 episode of SmackDown, Knight, now known as Max Dupri, announced Mace and Mansoor, under the tweaked names ma.çé and mån.sôör, as his new tag team, Maximum Male Models.[2] Maximum Male Models later welcomed Maxxine Dupri, Max's (kayfabe) sister, to manage the team. Dupri ended his relationship with Maximum Male Models on the September 30 episode of SmackDown.[3] The following week, he beat down Mace and Mansoor and reverted to his LA Knight persona.[4]

Maximum Male Models joined the Raw brand on February 6, 2023, and remained on Raw following the 2023 Draft.[5][6] After weeks of spending time with Otis of the Alpha Academy, Maxxine left Maximum Male Models to join Alpha Academy on the May 15 episode of Raw when she cheered on Otis and Chad Gable eliminating ma.çé and mån.sôör in the Intercontinental Championship number one contenders' battle royal match.[7][8] After months of inactivity, ma.çé and mån.sôör were both released from their WWE contracts on September 21.[9]

Independent circuit (2023–present) edit

Following their releases from WWE, Mansoor and Mace continued their partnership, with the two making a surprise appearance at Deadlock Pro-Wrestling (DPW) 2nd Anniversary taping on December 10, 2023 under the new name MxM, and Mace now going by the name of Mason Madden (sometimes Mason D. Madden).[10][11] MxM made their in ring debut for DPW at DPW Live 4 on January 20, 2024.[12]

On April 13, MxM made an appearance for the Ugandan-based Soft Ground Wrestling (SGW) promotion, with their appearance helping give the rising promotion further notoriety, with several other wrestlers from promotions such as AEW and TNA showing their support for both the team and the promotion itself.[13]
