On the August 31, 2010 episode of NXT, it was announced that Maxine would be part of the all-female third season of NXT, with Alicia Fox as her mentor. On the September 7 episode of NXT, she competed in a "Dance Competition" and a "Capture the Flag" contest unsuccessfully, and also teamed with Fox in a loss to fellow rookie Diva Naomi and her mentor Kelly Kelly. On the September 21 episode of NXT, Maxine lost to AJ, and later that night failed to win the "Talk the Talk" challenge. On the October 5 episode of NXT, Maxine lost to Aksana, and unsuccessfully competed in a "Mechanical Bull Riding" contest and a "Talent Show" contest after Hornswoggle shoved a pie in her face. On the October 12 episode of NXT, she unsuccessfully competed in a "Name that Tune" contest and a "Power of the Punch" contest. The next week on NXT, Maxine won her first singles match by defeating Kaitlyn, but unsuccessfully competed in the "Who's That Body" contest and the limbo contest, although host Matt Striker incorrectly declared Naomi the winner without her successfully completing the round Maxine failed. On the October 26 episode of NXT, Maxine lost a match to Naomi, but won a "Halloween Candy" contest. On the November 2 episode of NXT, Maxine lost a "Kissing" contest, and was later that night eliminated from competition. After her elimination, Maxine later made an appearance on the season finale on November 30, 2010, where she teamed with Alicia Fox and Aksana in a loss to AJ and The Bella Twins.
After a period of absence from WWE programming, Maxine began appearing on the fifth season of NXT, named NXT Redemption, returning on the August 16, 2011 episode and attacking AJ. She established herself as the on-screen girlfriend of Derrick Bateman, and the pair feuded with AJ and Titus O'Neil, which resulted in Maxine and Bateman losing to AJ and O'Neil in a mixed tag team match on the September 6 episode of NXT Redemption. While trying to sow discord between AJ and her on-screen boyfriend Hornswoggle, Maxine would trade victories with AJ in a series of matches from August to October. On the October 26 episode of NXT Redemption, Bateman proposed to Maxine in the storyline, which she would accept. On the November 2 episode of NXT Redemption, Bateman and Maxine became known as "Beta-Max", and they competed in a six-person mixed tag team match along with JTG in a loss to AJ, O'Neil and Percy Watson.
On the November 30 episode of NXT Redemption, Maxine lost a match against her former mentor Alicia Fox, when she was accidentally distracted by Derrick Bateman and his mother, and ended up leaving the arena with Johnny Curtis, resulting in Maxine breaking up with Bateman on the December 7 episode of NXT Redemption. On the January 4, 2012 episode of NXT Redemption, Maxine and Curtis interrupted Bateman's match with Darren Young, causing him to lose by announcing that she and Curtis were getting married in Las Vegas. On the 100th episode of NXT Redemption, Maxine and Curtis' wedding ceremony was interrupted by Bateman, who presented security camera footage in his locker room of Curtis stealing Bateman's iPad and sending an e-mail to Theodore Long about getting rid of Maxine and going to SmackDown, and was later reunited with Bateman after she slapped Curtis. The following week on NXT Redemption, Curtis offered a truce with Maxine and Bateman, but Maxine gave Curtis a low blow.
Maxine then began a feud with Kaitlyn on the February 1 episode of NXT Redemption, with Maxine accusing Kaitlyn of liking Bateman. She then attacked Kaitlyn on the February 15 episode of NXT Redemption, thinking that Bateman bought Kaitlyn a gift for Valentine's Day. On the February 29 episode of NXT Redemption, Maxine again attacked Kaitlyn after she confessed her love for Bateman by kissing him, and went on to face Kaitlyn in the main event unsuccessfully. On the March 7 episode of NXT Redemption, in a segment with Johnny Curtis and Derrick Bateman, Maxine revealed to Bateman that they were no longer dating after Kaitlyn kissed Bateman, leading to a mixed tag team match in which Maxine and Curtis lost to Kaitlyn and Bateman on the March 14 episode of NXT Redemption, and Bateman would afterwards confess his love for Kaitlyn, thus solidifying their relationship.
After William Regal was appointed as NXT's match coordinator, Maxine would attempt to get close to him in the hopes that he would help her get her out of NXT. On the March 21 episode of NXT Redemption, Maxine and Johnny Curtis knocked out Matt Striker with chloroform in the storyline, so that Maxine could join Regal on commentary, however, Striker was then kidnapped by two masked figures, later revealed to be Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks, who intended to blackmail Maxine and Curtis into using her charms to get Regal to leave them alone. Striker was then rescued by Bateman and Kaitlyn on the April 11 episode of NXT Redemption. For being involved with Striker's storyline kidnapping, on the March 18 episode of NXT Redemption, after Maxine defeated Kaitlyn in a match, she and Curtis were forced by Regal to sign a contract to permanently be each other's manager or be fired, and were afterwards handcuffed together. Maxine made her first appearance on WWE's main roster on the May 7 episode of Raw, teaming with Natalya in a losing effort against Layla and Kelly Kelly. Maxine then transitioned into a fan favorite, and defeated Tamina Snuka on the May 9 episode of NXT Redemption, and was later released from being handcuffed to Johnny Curtis by Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks. Her last appearance was on the June 25 episode of Raw as part of the Divas Summertime Beach Battle Royal match won by AJ.
On June 28, 2012, it was reported that Maxine had quit WWE.
