On the January 19, 2026 episode of Monday Night Raw, Maxxine Dupri took on Becky Lynch once again. Aiming to get her Women’s Intercontinental Championship back, she had Natalya by her side in case things went wrong. But she never expected what was coming during the match.
Natalya ended up turning on her and making her lose the match and the championship opportunity. The next week was the Royal Rumble. She entered at number 12, but Natalya entered at number 13. Except the latter wasn’t herself. She entered as Nattie, the tough fighter who never backs down from a fight. The two collided during the match, but it was Lynch who ended up eliminating Dupri. It was clear that a one-on-one match was going to happen. When it did, was Dupri able to successfully avenge her betrayal?
I wanted you to be different.
I wanted you to prove you weren’t like all the others.
But you forgot my name with success too, Maxx.
You failed. @maxxinedupri. pic.twitter.com/TMlpZ40BXr— THE LOWKEY LEGEND (@NatbyNature) February 9, 2026
Dupri and Nattie’s Match Interrupted Before a Decisive Finish
Dupri was Women’s Intercontinental Champion when she started training with Natalya. But when she lost the championship, that’s when things started to crack between them. When Natalya saw that Dupri was losing, she decided to end their partnership immediately. Now, as Nattie, she’s deciding to teach her a lesson.
On the February 9 Raw, the first match between the two since the betrayal took place. Tensions were high, as Dupri was still rightly furious at Nattie for taking her championship opportunity away from her. The bell rang, and they started to grapple at each other. It was clear Nattie’s lessons were helpful, as Dupri grabbed hold of her and hit her with an arm drag and spin kick.
With Nattie on the outside, she grabbed her in an attempt of an ankle lock. But Nattie quickly rolled out and kicked her into the steel steps. The punishment wasn’t over, as she immediately got pushed face first into the steel ring post. After that, Nattie grabbed her and sent her into the announcer’s table. She cleared everything off, then started hitting her before applying the Sharpshooter.
It looked like the match was over, but AJ Lee’s music hit the arena. She came out in defense of Dupri, whom she helped when she won the championship last November. Nattie ran off, as Lee helped Dupri to the back. However, Lynch ran up behind them and sent Lee into the ring post. Earlier in the night, she got a match for the championship at Elimination Chamber, infuriating Lynch. Nattie and Lynch may have the upper hand now, but Dupri and Lee still have a lot of fight left in them. It’s clear that a match against each other is the only way their problems will be resolved.
