Mace and Mansoor recently revealed that Vince McMahon was really close to firing the massively popular WWE Superstar LA Knight.
Former WWE Superstars Mace and Mansoor, also known as the Maximum Male Models, were released from their contracts with the company on September 21st. The duo recently took to Twitch to share their thoughts on their release and shed light on their time with WWE coming to an end.
During their live stream, Mace and Mansoor expressed their gratitude to the fans for their support throughout their tenure in WWE. They discussed the challenges they faced and the opportunities they were given during their time with the company. Despite their release, the pair remained positive and optimistic about their future endeavours.
In an interesting turn of events, Mace and Mansoor also touched upon the situation involving fellow WWE Superstar LA Knight. It was revealed that LA Knight, who has gained massive popularity with fans and has reportedly become a favourite of the backstage staff, was on the verge of being fired by Vince McMahon.
According to Mansoor, McMahon allegedly disliked Knight’s portrayal of his former character, Max Dupri. It remains unclear how Knight managed to turn the situation around and salvage his position within the company. Mansoor stated:
There is no heat with LA Knight. He was going to get fired. He was this close to getting let go because, for whatever reason, Vince hated his Max Dupri performance.
In recent news, Mansoor stated that he had major heat before his battle royal win at WWE Super ShowDown.
