Maxxine Dupri Rejects Chad Gable’s In-Ring Apology to Alpha Academy on WWE Raw

Chad Gable made a public attempt to make amends on this week’s edition of WWE Raw, stepping into the ring to personally apologize to his former Alpha Academy stablemates — Otis, Akira Tozawa, and Maxxine Dupri. The gesture carried weight given how acrimoniously Gable’s relationship with the group deteriorated, and the response from the team was split right down the middle.

Otis and Akira Tozawa appeared at least somewhat open to hearing Gable out, offering a degree of acceptance to the apology. Maxxine Dupri, however, was not buying it. She declined to accept Gable’s olive branch, leaving the segment with a clear divide within what used to be a tight-knit unit.

The moment is a significant one for Dupri in particular. Since joining Alpha Academy, she has evolved considerably as an on-screen character, and her refusal to forgive Gable positions her as the most resolute voice against reconciliation — a sharp contrast to where her character began. It also keeps the door open for continued tension between her and Gable moving forward, while Otis and Tozawa’s softer stance could create interesting friction within the former group itself.

Gable’s path back into good standing — if one even exists — just got a lot more complicated. With Maxxine firmly drawing a line, whatever comes next for all four performers figures to be shaped by that unresolved conflict.
