This past May 23, WWE filed to trademark the “Maximum Male Models” name with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the USPTO) for entertainment services. “Maximum Male Models” is the name of Max Dupri's faction, which he might bring to WWE Friday Night SmackDown. Max Dupri (F.K.A. LA Knight) was recently moved up to the WWE main roster during last Friday's WWE SmackDown episode, when he was seen in a backstage segment with WWE official Adam Pearce.
Dupri said that he was hired by Sonya Deville, but Adam Pearce reminded him that Deville is no longer a WWE official. Dupri also told Adam Pearce that he is the head of an organization called the Maximum Male Models. Pearce then told Dupri that he wasn’t sure on him being on the brand, but Dupri told the WWE official that he has a signed contract.
Prior to making his WWE main roster debut on Friday Night SmackDown this past week, Dupri worked dark segments, where he has aligned himself with Mace and Mansoor. There's no word yet on if WWE has Dupri align himself with Mace and Mansoor on the main roster or if he will be put with other WWE Stars, but updates will be provided once it has been made available. Max Dupri's faction was called Knight Model Management before it was changed to Maximum Male Models.
Below is the use description submitted to the USPTO, along with a video of the segment:
