Natalya Breaks Silence After Betraying Maxxine Dupri on WWE RAW

TLDR

Natalya addressed her heel turn and betrayal of Maxxine Dupri during a January 22 appearance on Busted Open Radio, where she helped Becky Lynch retain the Women's Intercontinental Championship on the January 19, 2026 episode of WWE RAW by putting Lynch's foot on the ropes. The veteran wrestler refused to provide a full explanation for her actions, stating "I will talk about all this when I'm ready to talk about it" while promising that fans will see "a whole lot more of that side of me" on WWE programming. Natalya, who had been working as a babyface since 2022, framed her heel turn as part of tapping into her "true self" and taking action before speaking about it.
