On the November 17 edition of the red brand, the 28-year-old pinned Becky Lynch to become the new WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion, her first title win in the Stamford-based wrestling promotion. She got assistance from AJ Lee, whose entrance distracted The Man, allowing Dupri to hit a crossbody for the win.

Earlier today, Maxxine Dupri took to Instagram to pen down a heartfelt note thanking multiple people, including The Geek Goddess. The newly crowned champion wrote that she loved the fans, her trainers, coaches, stablemates, support crew, parents, and real-life partner Anthony Luke.

"I thought I would wake up today with the words to describe what Monday night meant to me, but alas here I am never wanting to wake up from this dream 🥹 Madison Square Garden, I LOVE YOU. WWE Universe, I LOVE YOU. @thedungeon2.0, I LOVE YOU. @flatbackstraining, I LOVE YOU. @shanehelmscom, I LOVE YOU. The Performance Center, I LOVE YOU. My Alpha Babes, I LOVE YOU. @aluke23, I LOVE YOU. My day one support crew (you know who you are), I LOVE YOU. @theajmendez, I LOVE YOU. My insanely supportive parents, I LOVE YOU," Dupri wrote.

Maxxine Dupri thanked everyone for guiding her through her wrestling journey. However, the RAW star noted that she still had a very long way to go. She ended the caption by giving herself a new name, The IConic Champ.

"This win is so much bigger than me - I wouldn’t be here without EVERY single person that guided me along the way. And now it’s back to the lab, because I never want to let go of this feeling. We have so much more work to do. Thank you for being on this ride with me. ❤️‍🩹 XO, The IConic Champ," Dupri added.

Former champion can finally compete for the WWE Women's Championship after Maxxine Dupri's win

The inaugural WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria can finally wrestle for the title once again after Maxxine Dupri dethroned Becky Lynch.

The Irish star held the gold for 145 days before losing it to The Man at Money in the Bank. She had multiple unsuccessful attempts at winning it back. Their last encounter at SummerSlam had the stipulation that if the 29-year-old failed to secure the win, she would not be allowed to challenge for the title as long as Becky Lynch was the champion.

After Maxxine Dupri took the gold off Lynch, Lyra Valkyria can finally turn her attention back to the Women's Intercontinental Championship. She is currently involved in an intriguing storyline involving Bayley, who also had her eyes on the title.
