In August 2021, Dupri signed with WWE. Dupri began appearing on WWE television in 2022 on NXT as a valet with Robert Stone for Von Wagner under the ring name Sofia Cromwell.
On the July 22, 2022 episode of SmackDown, Cromwell made her debut on the main roster as Max Dupri's sister, Maxxine Dupri, the "director of talent" for his heel stable Maximum Male Models consisting of ma.çé and mån.sôör. On the October 7 episode of SmackDown, Max would go on to leave the stable and re-establish himself as LA Knight, leaving her as the stable's valet. In February 2023, Maximum Male Models were moved to the Raw brand.
Following the move to Raw, Dupri would begin a comedic storyline with Otis where she would attempt to recruit and encourage him to become a member of Maximum Male Models. This would later start a series of segments between Dupri and Chad Gable, where they both wanted Otis to be on their respective teams. Dupri quietly turned face and left Maximum Male Models to align herself with Alpha Academy on the May 29 episode of Raw.
On the June 12 episode of Raw, Dupri performed an arm drag on Valhalla of The Viking Raiders and began her first feud. Otis and Gable trained Dupri in backstage segments to prepare for her in-ring debut. She debuted in a mixed tag team match between Alpha Academy and The Viking Raiders on the July 3 episode of Raw, defeating Valhalla with a roll-up pin. On the July 10 episode of Raw, Alpha Academy held a graduation ceremony for Dupri and Gable presented Dupri with her own Alpha Academy letterman's jacket at the end of the ceremony. As Dupri was about to put on the jacket, The Viking Raiders appeared on the ramp and Valhalla attacked Dupri from behind and stole her jacket. On the following episode of Raw, Gable and Otis fought Erik and Ivar in a "Viking Rules" match. Despite dominating the match, Gable and Otis lost but Dupri managed to take her jacket back. On the July 31 episode of Raw, Dupri defeated Valhalla in her debut singles match.
On the November 6 episode of Raw, Dupri participated in the battle royal for a Women's World Championship match at Survivor Series, but was eliminated by Nia Jax. Two weeks later, Dupri teamed up with Diamond Mine's Ivy Nile in a fatal four-way tag team match for a WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match in a losing effort. On December 5, Dupri had her first match in NXT where she and Alpha Academy defeated The Meta-Four in a six-person mixed tag team match. On the December 11 episode of Raw, Dupri faced the Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley in a non-title match, where she was conclusively defeated by submission in just over two minutes. Dupri made her Royal Rumble match debut at the titular event on January 27, 2024, entering as the eighteenth entrant. She lasted over six minutes before being eliminated by eventual winner Bayley. On the April 22 episode of Raw, Dupri competed in her first title match in a battle royal for the vacated Women's World Championship. She managed to eliminate Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell but was eliminated by Nia Jax. During this time, Gable would turn heel after failing to win the Intercontinental Championship multiple times, with Gable assigning blame that he had spent too much time training his "loser" stablemates and declaring that the stable's focus was to win Gable the Intercontinental Championship. After weeks of mistreatment by Gable on the rest of the stable for not assisting him to win the title by cheating, Dupri, Otis and Akira Tozawa walked out of Alpha Academy on the June 17 episode of Raw.
