WWE Considering Plans to Repackage Maximum Male Models

WWE reportedly is currently considering plans to repackage the Maximum Male Models, according to Fightful Select.

It was reported that their sources stated that the Maximum Male Models’ Mansoor and Mace could be getting repacked soon as an act and team in WWE. It was reported that the reason for this potential repackaging is due to WWE Executive Chairman Vince McMahon had been originally high on the team but did not want them to be “flamboyant.”

It was reported that the team’s flamboyance aspect was something that WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque had encouraged and kept when he took over WWE Creative. This aspect reportedly has been scaled back along with the team’s usage since McMahon returned and took back some creative power.

Kofi Kingston Injury Status Update

As noted before, Kofi Kingston has been out of action for WWE since this past March due to an ankle injury and surgery.

A recent episode of the Battleground Podcast featured Kingston as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Kingston providing an update on the status of his ankle injury and rehab.

“I’m actually in Orlando right now doing some rehab on my ankle. I had ankle surgery to remove a bone chip and fix some ligaments after the massive, Scottish behemoth of a man, Drew McIntyre, landed on my leg and my body went east and my leg went west and my ankle was completely sprained but they took out some bone chips and fixed the ligament and now, I’m on the mend, you know? Somewhere in between a robot and a zombie. Somewhere in between. I’m working my way back into the fold so, it’s all good, life is grand.
I’m doing really well. I actually had this same surgery on the same ankle about six years ago to have bone chips removed so I feel like this time around, I kind of know what to expect and I’ve been kind of ahead of schedule for the most part and I’m really able to do a lot of normal people things and live normal life. So now it’s just a matter of trying to go to the next level and do WWE superstar things, you know what I mean? In-ring, things like that. So I’ve been in Orlando for the past week just kind of seeing where I’m at and things are looking pretty good so hopefully sooner than later, you’ll see me in the ring, but you are gonna see me hosting the (Michigan) Panthers.”
