Maxxine Dupri marries WWE partner Anthony Luke after a seven-year relationship, bringing together wrestling’s biggest names for a celebration in Naples, Florida on December 31. The couple’s wedding attracted an impressive roster of current and former WWE talent, highlighting Dupri’s close ties within the wrestling world.
Celebrated Union in Naples Draws Wrestling Elite
Maxxine Dupri, currently reigning as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion on WWE Raw, tied the knot with Anthony Luke—best known to fans for his recent EVOLVE appearances as Kam Hendrix. The two began their relationship in 2018 and marked the occasion with a grand ceremony attended by prominent wrestling figures. Their nuptials turned Naples, Florida into a hub for wrestling personalities, further cementing the couple’s status within the industry.
The guest list included Chelsea Green, the Women’s United States Champion, who attended with her husband, Matt Cardona. Green and Cardona had reason to celebrate as well, marking their fourth wedding anniversary during the festivities. Former NXT Women’s Champion Indi Hartwell, now signed to TNA, was also present, accompanied by her partner. Other notable attendees featured Cathy Kelley, Jackie Redmond, and Deonna Purrazzo, each bringing their own star power to the event. The occasion underlined the supportive and interconnected nature of wrestling’s top talent, with friends and colleagues gathering to witness the couple’s milestone.
Main Roster Developments and Dupri’s Recent Success
Dupri’s continued momentum as Women’s Intercontinental Champion follows her November 17 victory over Becky Lynch on WWE Raw—a pivotal moment in her wrestling career. Meanwhile, Anthony Luke has undergone a recent rebranding, emerging as Kam Hendrix and making his debut for EVOLVE. The evolving dynamics within both their professional and personal lives suggest a transformative period for the couple, especially as WWE talent continues to cross over among promotions.
The presence of so many key figures from WWE and related promotions at the wedding, including both the main roster and NXT personalities, highlights Dupri and Luke’s longstanding influence and enduring relationships in the wrestling community. The couple’s journey, which began in 2018, has now reached a new stage, witnessed and celebrated by their closest friends and respected peers.
Rivalries Persist Amid Celebrations
Despite the joyous tone of the occasion, Maxxine Dupri’s in-ring challenges remain intense. On January 5, she is slated to defend her Intercontinental Championship in Brooklyn against former champion Becky Lynch. This highly anticipated rematch comes after Dupri’s decisive win in November, which unseated the Irish superstar from the title. In the lead-up, Lynch—known for her outspoken persona—continued to stir anticipation by making bold predictions about the outcome.
“MOODY MAXXINE is getting married this week (I hear the dress is AWFUL). Hopefully, she enjoys her FINAL WEEK as “champion”. Come Jan 5th in Brooklyn, we ALL will celebrate her DIVORCE with the INTERCONTINENTAL championship!”— Rebecca Quin (@BeckyLynchWWE)
Lynch’s comment sparked conversation among fans and added another layer of drama to Dupri’s upcoming title defense. Having held the championship for 44 days as of December 31, Dupri now faces the prospect of potentially having the shortest reign in the title’s history if Lynch were to reclaim the belt. Previous holders like Lynch and Lyra Valkyria each kept the title for over 100 days, setting a standard that Dupri will hope to surpass.
Importance of the Wedding for the Wrestling Community
The union of Maxxine Dupri and Anthony Luke is about more than just a private milestone—it reflects professional camaraderie and the close-knit ethos of the wrestling industry. As colleagues from across wrestling promotions gathered, their attendance underscored a sense of solidarity and mutual support that often transcends professional rivalries. The event reaffirms the importance of personal relationships within the world of sports entertainment, and the couple’s journey together is poised to remain a prominent storyline, both inside and outside the ring.
As Dupri prepares for her crucial title match in Brooklyn, the support she received from her peers at the wedding may offer her both strength and inspiration. The coming weeks promise significant developments, as personal celebrations give way to professional showdowns on WWE’s grand stage.
