MxM Collection (or simply MxM) is a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Mansoor and Mason Madden. They are signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and its sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), while also making appearances on the independent circuit.

History

WWE (2022–2023)

On April 22, 2022 in a dark segment on SmackDown, Mansoor turned heel for the first time in WWE when he was announced as the newest member of LA Knight's stable, Knight Model Management alongside Mace.[1] On the July 1 episode of SmackDown, Knight, now known as Max Dupri, announced Mace and Mansoor, under the tweaked names ma.çé and mån.sôör, as his new tag team Maximum Male Models.[2] Maximum Male Models later welcomed Maxxine Dupri, Max's (kayfabe) sister, to manage the team. Max ended his relationship with Maximum Male Models on the September 30 episode of SmackDown and reverted as LA Knight the following week.[3][4]

Maximum Male Models joined the Raw brand on February 6, 2023, and remained on Raw following the 2023 WWE Draft.[5][6] After weeks of spending time with Otis of the Alpha Academy, Maxxine left Maximum Male Models to join Alpha Academy on the May 15 episode of Raw when she cheered on Otis and Chad Gable eliminating ma.çé and mån.sôör in the Intercontinental Championship number one contenders' battle royal match.[7][8] After months of inactivity, ma.çé and mån.sôör were both released from their WWE contracts on September 21.[9]

Independent circuit (2023–2024)

After their releases from WWE, Mansoor and Mace continued their union. The two made their first post-WWE appearance at Deadlock Pro-Wrestling (DPW) 2nd Anniversary taping on December 10, 2023 as MxM, with Mace now going by the name of Mason Madden (sometimes Mason D. Madden).[10][11] MxM made their in ring debut for DPW at DPW Live 4 on January 20, 2024.[12]

On April 13, MxM appeared for the Ugandan-based Soft Ground Wrestling (SGW) promotion, with their appearance helping give the rising promotion further notoriety, with many other wrestlers from promotions such as AEW and TNA showing their support for both the team and the promotion itself.[13]

All Elite Wrestling / Ring of Honor (2024–present)

Mansoor and Madden, as MxM Collection, made their Ring of Honor (ROH) debut on the 4 July 2024 episode of Ring of Honor Wrestling in a pre-taped vignette.[14] On July 10, it was reported that MxM Collection had signed with a deal with ROH and its sister promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW).[15] MxM Collection made their ROH in-ring debut at Death Before Dishonor: Zero Hour on July 26, defeating Spanish Announce Project (Angélico and Serpentico).[16] MxM Collection made their AEW debut on the July 27 episode of Collision in a losing effort against FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood).[17] On October 12 at WrestleDream, MxM Collection were managed by Rico Constantino in a bout against The Acclaimed but were defeated. On the November 2 episode of Collision, MxM Collecton formed an alliance with Johnny TV.[18]
