This surprising outcome followed the unexpected return of AJ Lee, who distracted Lynch in the middle of the match and gave Dupri the chance to capitalize.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"446\" data-end=\"726\">Natalya, a former tag partner and trainer of Dupri, publicly supported the new champion after the match. She highlighted Dupri\u2019s positive personality, her professional attitude, and her development. She said that winning the title was a significant step forward in Dupri\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"781\"><strong data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"781\">Natalya Praises Dupri\u2019s Work Ethic and Dedication<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"783\" data-end=\"1086\">Natalya also pointed out that Dupri\u2019s success in WWE is rooted in discipline and perseverance. In addition to what she has achieved in the ring, she has reportedly worked hard in all areas expected of a modern WWE superstar, including physical training, appearances, and interacting with fans and media.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1088\" data-end=\"1401\">The veteran wrestler emphasized that athletic talent is only one part of achieving success in professional wrestling. Branding, consistency, personal behavior, and building a connection with the audience are all important for long-term success, and these are areas in which Dupri has apparently shown improvement.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_145717\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-145717\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-145717 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-14-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"A WWE Raw graphic featuring Maxxine Dupri and Becky Lynch.\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-14-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-14-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-14-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-14.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-145717\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: WWE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1449\"><strong data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1449\">Connection With Fans Key to Future Success<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1451\" data-end=\"1750\">Natalya also stressed the importance of strong relationships with the audience for a lasting wrestling career.
