Booker T Says Maxxine Dupri “Passes the Airport Test” After Shocking WWE Title Win Over Becky Lynch

Maxxine Dupri just pulled off the biggest win of her career on WWE RAW, and now Booker T is breaking down exactly why she deserves every bit of that spotlight. His take? Maxxine isn’t just improving in the ring—she passes the airport test, a phrase that means way more in the wrestling world than most fans realize.

On the October 6 episode of RAW, Becky Lynch ended up losing to Maxxine Dupri after getting counted out outside the ring. It wasn’t the result anyone expected, and Becky’s reaction made it clear she didn’t see that upset coming. Maxxine’s celebration afterward showed just how massive the moment was for her career.

But according to Booker T, this win wasn’t a fluke. It wasn’t luck. It wasn’t a storyline shortcut. It was the result of Maxxine putting in real work behind the scenes—and he made sure fans understand what makes her different from everyone else.

Booker explained that Maxxine has been grinding nonstop, especially training with Natalya. More importantly, he emphasized the thing that impressed him most: how she carries herself outside the ring.

“Maxxine been putting a lot of work in. I know she’s been working with Natalya a lot—and that right there, that experience is invaluable. Being able to work with somebody like Natalya…”

He then laid out why WWE trusts her the way they do.

“This business is about putting the work in and hopefully you get rewarded for it—and Maxxine has been doing work.”

Booker backed it up by talking about her dependability.

“The thing is, I always say, you got to be dependable. They got to be able to trust you. Maxxine Dupri is somebody that they know they can trust. She’s at every show. You guys may not see her on every television show, but I see her.”

And then came the line that instantly stood out to fans—his version of a wrestler’s character test.

“I’ve seen her grinding, coming through that airport, hoodie on, just trying to get to that next show, and trying to progress, and trying to learn as much as she possibly can. And now I look at her, I say, ‘Yeah, give her a shot, man.’”

He followed that with the phrase everyone is talking about, “She passes that airport test.” Brad Gilmore chimed in saying Maxxine is “gorgeous,” to which Booker replied, “She’s amazing.” And finally, when speaking directly about her beating Becky Lynch for the title, Booker didn’t dance around the outcome, “You couldn’t ask for a better way to win the title.”

Booker made it clear: Maxxine Dupri isn’t just improving—she’s earning everything she’s getting. And passing the airport test is his way of saying she belongs in the mix with the wrestlers who grind the hardest.
