Dupri began wrestling just three years ago and he or she originally struggled to get many opportunities on account of her lack of in-ring experience. Nonetheless, after Dupri began to train with Natalya at The Dungeon 2.0, she significantly progressed within the ring, and through a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CERTHHg8Bhw\" target=\"_blank\">Denise Salcedo<\/a>, she revealed which improvements led to her singles run.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was nuts. Being in The Dungeon is so spooky. Let me let you know. I feel so blessed that I used to be\u00a0in a position to train with Natalya and with TJ [Wilson] and I learned a lot from them. And one in all the predominant things I learned, and it&#8217;s what we call our dungeon lungs, is\u00a0really constructing that stamina because once you&#8217;re in there with someone like Becky Lynch, you have got to have the stamina to not only sustain along with her, but to find a way to reverse every thing she\u00a0does and find a way to remain energetic and to have the gang, you have got to be present and have those emotions. And you possibly can&#8217;t be present in the event you&#8217;re huffing and\u00a0puffing, you already know? So, it was really that stamina that I built there that modified the sport for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As of late, WWE has teased a heel turn for Dupri, as she&#8217;s been seen speaking with The Vision&#8217;s Austin Theory on multiple episodes of &#8220;Raw,&#8221; and being rude to her current Alpha Academy stablemates Otis and Akira\u00a0Tozawa.<\/p>\n<p><em>Should you use any of the quotes in this text, please credit &#8220;Denise Salcedo&#8221; with a h\/t to Wrestling Inc. for the transcription.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marc Piasecki\/Getty Images Last yr, Maxxine Durpi was given a singles push on &#8220;WWE Raw&#8221; where she had the chance to face toe-to-toe with Becky Lynch in a series of matches that eventually led her to win the Women&#8217;s Intercontinental Championship.
