Maxxine Dupri and Ivy Nile locked horns with Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell on the March 11 edition of the red brand.

Vince Russo criticizes Maxxine Dupri and Candice LeRae following controversial match on RAW
The remarks made by Candice LeRae during the tag team match instantly grabbed the attention of the wrestling world. Several fans criticized WWE for the edgy angle. However, Vince Russo pointed out that he was not impressed by the performances of the talents involved.
Speaking about the tag team match on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, the former WWE writer stated that the acting towards the end of the contest was some of the worst acting he had ever seen. He referred to the spot as 'horrible':
"You got Dupri and Nile, the worst acting I have ever seen in my life bro. Between Dupri and LeRae, this was horrible. They trying to play off what happened with the people, come on bro. If you gonna do something like that, you gotta do it in a believable fashion with people that know how to do it. This was literally 9th [grade] school play," he said.
Maxxine Dupri has received criticism from the fans for her limited in-ring ability. The 26-year-old has been training hard and consistently having matches at the House Shows to improve as a performer.
