In an interview with the podcast Lightweights Maxxine Dupri talked about her first experience of training on The WWE PC. She stated:

“[The coaches] watch back your matches, things you’ve done,”

“We refer to them as PC lives, which is where you’re playing like matches. We replay things from the back of the day, and everything.”

“It kind of depends on the coach because the coach runs it, so it’s really whoever their cup of tea is.”

“They’ll be able to stop and tell you, ‘Look at the way he did it. This is why you’re able to follow this path or this is the reason this was successful in this particular time period however, perhaps today this style of thinking won’t be effective. ‘”

Dupri described what she describes as”a “pinch me” moment in the ring during her four-way top tag team match between contenders on the 20th November episode of WWE Raw, Dupri said:

“That was not on my bingo card for that Monday,” Dupri declared. “Then I thought, okay, I’m sure I’m capable of doing it. I’m extremely capable, and it’ll be perfect.”

“It’ll be a blast however, when you’re up there, you’re like, ‘I’ve have to get out of here. I don’t want to stay here for all day and think about it. I’m going to out and leave. After that it’s the most satisfying feeling.”

Maxxine Dupri’s tag team companion Ivy Nile is coming off the heels of her most intense fight to date, when she fell to Rhea Ripley in her place in the WWE Women’s World Championship on the “Day 1” edition of Raw.
