Former WWE Tag Team Believed To Have Signed With AEW

It’s recently been reported that Mansoor and Mason Madden, who was previously known as Mace in WWE, have been backstage at AEW television tapings. And while that has led to speculation that the duo collectively known as the Maximum Male Models could be about to sign with the company, no official confirmation has been forthcoming. However, during a recent podcast for Fightful Select , Sean Ross Sapp has shared that he believes the pair has signed with the promotion.

“We have been told they were in talks with AEW/ROH about coming in. I believe that they are signed, but I have not been given that confirmation as of yet.”

The Maximum Male Models, now known as MxM, began teaming up in 2022 when WWE took the two underutilized singles performers and put them together alongside LA Knight, then called Max Dupri. Yet despite showing potential as a comedy tag team, they were often used to put over other teams like The New Day, Hiot Row, and Alpha Academy, firmly establishing themselves near the bottom of the tag division. Therefore, their release last September wasn’t a massive surprise, even though both men are undoubtedly talented.
