Maxxine Dupri details her dream WWE WrestleMania entrance
If Maxxine Dupri gets the chance to compete at WrestleMania 42, she would love to have some old friends participate in her entrance.
WrestleMania 42 is set to be held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19, 2026. To promote ticket sales, Dupri appeared on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez and was asked to detail what her dream WrestleMania entrance would be. Dupri said she would ideally like to involve some of her old teammates from when she was an NFL cheerleader and NBA dancer. Dupri — whose real name is Sydney Zmrzel — cheered for the Los Angeles Rams and was a dancer for the Phoenix Suns before starting out her WWE career.
“When I was an NFL cheerleader and an NBA dancer, I loved every opportunity when we got to perform with artists. We often got the opportunity to dance with different rappers and people that would come and do halftime shows. So I would love to have the opportunity to incorporate my girls,” Dupri said. “My girls that like seriously, that’s what got me here and that’s what taught me so much.
“I would love to have some NFL cheerleaders out there. Here’s the thing, we’re in Las Vegas, right? So I think we have to do the Raiderettes, which I do have friends that are Raiderettes. I was a Los Angeles Rams cheerleader. It’s a short drive.”
Dupri is the current WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion. She told Unlikely that her goals for 2026 include hanging on to that championship, going after the Women’s Tag Team titles, and putting in a strong performance in the Royal Rumble. Her biggest goal is to continue building her confidence and perfecting her craft.
