WWE fans can look forward to a heated clash between Nattie and Maxxine Dupri on tomorrow’s episode of Monday Night Raw, adding another layer of anticipation to what will be the final Raw broadcast before the Elimination Chamber premium live event. The match comes after a period of escalating tension between the two wrestlers, stemming from a betrayal that cost Dupri a championship opportunity.
Beyond the newly announced match, Monday’s Raw is shaping up to be a pivotal night for several WWE superstars. All eyes will be on 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan as she prepares to announce her opponent for WrestleMania 42. Morgan’s choices are narrowed down to Stephanie Vaquer of Raw and Jade Cargill of SmackDown. Cargill, who calls Atlanta home, has already confirmed her presence at the announcement, signaling a potentially dramatic showdown.
A Celebration of a WWE Legend
The broadcast will also feature a special tribute to the illustrious career of AJ Styles. WWE has reportedly arranged for a number of SmackDown superstars to travel to Atlanta, Styles’ hometown, to participate in the segment. This tribute promises to be a heartfelt recognition of Styles’ contributions to the world of professional wrestling.
Adding to the excitement, Brock Lesnar is also scheduled to appear on Raw. The night will also feature two crucial Triple Threat qualifying matches for the upcoming Elimination Chamber event. The men’s qualifier will pit Jey Uso against Bronson Reed and El Grande Americano Original, whereas the women’s qualifier will see Raquel Rodriguez, IYO SKY, and Kairi Sane battle for a spot in the Elimination Chamber.
Dupri and Nattie: A Rivalry Forged in Betrayal
The upcoming match between Maxxine Dupri and Nattie is rooted in a storyline that unfolded in recent weeks. According to reports, Dupri was Women’s Intercontinental Champion when she began training with Natalya, known as Nattie in the ring. However, their partnership soured when Natalya turned on Dupri, costing her both the championship and a future title opportunity. The betrayal was highlighted during the Royal Rumble, where Nattie entered the match and directly confronted Dupri, ultimately leading to her elimination. Their first match on February 9th ended in chaos, with interference from AJ Lee and Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch.
The animosity between the two wrestlers is evident, with Dupri understandably furious at Nattie for jeopardizing her career. Nattie, meanwhile, appears determined to teach Dupri a lesson, believing that Dupri’s success went to her head. A post on X (formerly Twitter) from an account claiming to be Nattie, reads, “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.”

The Elimination Chamber PLE is scheduled for February 28 at the United Center.
