WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Maxxine Dupri has opened up on the powerful emotions following her title victory. Dupri won the gold, her first championship in WWE, inside Madison Square Garden, adding her name to the list of historic champions who’ve won gold inside the World’s Most Famous Arena.
Taking to Instagram, Dupri reflected on her victory.
I thought I would wake up today with the words to describe what Monday night meant to me, but alas here I am never wanting to wake up from this dream ? Madison Square Garden, I LOVE YOU. WWE Universe, I LOVE YOU. @thedungeon2.0, I LOVE YOU. @flatbackstraining, I LOVE YOU. @shanehelmscom, I LOVE YOU. The Performance Center, I LOVE YOU. My Alpha Babes, I LOVE YOU. @aluke23, I LOVE YOU. My day one support crew (you know who you are), I LOVE YOU. @theajmendez, I LOVE YOU. My insanely supportive parents, I LOVE YOU. This win is so much bigger than me – I wouldn’t be here without EVERY single person that guided me along the way. And now it’s back to the lab, because I never want to let go of this feeling. We have so much more work to do. Thank you for being on this ride with me.
Dupri’s win has been met with a whirlwind of support from fans and superstars, with faces and heels alike being excited for the new champion. In the comments, Nia Jax said that she was “beyond proud” while Natalya hopes Maxxine has time to savor “such a special moment.” Charlotte Flair was “so inspired and proud” of Dupri, while Blake Monroe said Dupri proves that “hard work truly pays off.”
One Superstar who isn’t celebrating is Becky Lynch. Since the title loss, Lynch has been adamant that she is the victim of a conspiracy against her. Lynch has even threatened a lawsuit to reverse the decision, adding that her lawyers see this as a blatant corruption.
It remains to be seen how far Dupri will go as Women’s Intercontinental Champion. For now, Dupri is happy to live her dream come true.
