Maxxine Dupri vows to break Nattie's ankle in tonight's match
After Nattie betrayed Maxxine Dupri and caused her to lose her Women's Intercontinental Championship Match against Becky Lynch last month, Dupri is out for retribution when they square off tonight.
:raw:
— RAW begins with clips of CM Punk & AJ Lee walking backstage, Becky Lynch throws a tantrum behind them. Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky sit in the empty arena, The Judgement Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez & Dominik Mysterio) playing darts backstage.
— Michael Cole and Corey Graves greet audiences at home as an angry looking Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring.
Lynch paces around the ring as she says there's only so much disrespect one woman can take. She says she came to the ring looking to make a big announcement about how corruption took over WWE Royal Rumble, but instead, she saw that AJ Lee was walking around backstage with CM Punk.
Lee's music hits and she makes her way out. Lynch asks Lee what she's doing on her show, and Lee says she's not there for Lynch. She says she's there to support Maxxine Dupri in her match against Nattie later and planned on hanging out in catering after, but Lynch cuts her off and says she understands Lee's whole thing about being cute. She says Lee won't stop yapping like a chihuahua who is ruining her life, but Lee questions how she's ruining Lynch's life aside from beating her at WWE WrestlePalooza, in the 2025 Women's WarGames match, and costing her the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
Lynch asks Lee what it will take to get rid of her, then asks Lee if she wants her to ruin her life in front of her hometown crowd at Elimination Chamber. Lee says Lynch is either having a nervous breakdown or wants to face her in the ring, then says she knew Lynch liked her and finds it flattering that Lynch wants to face her. She says she hasn't had a singles match in over a decade and it would have to be special for her, then says Lynch is one of the greatest of all time. She considers what beating Lynch would make her, then says it would make her the Number One Contender for the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
Lynch declines to make Lee her new Number One Contender, then says she's done nothing to deserve a Women's Intercontinental Championship. She says Lee isn't technically an active member of the Raw roster, then says she'll go back to Chicago. Lynch eventually gives in and agrees to defend her Women's Intercontinental Championship.

Morgan looks to speak, but Dominik stops her and calls for someone to bring him roses and chocolates. She hands them to Morgan, and Morgan tells Dominik that she plans on giving him her gift later.
Morgan puts down the roses and chocolates, then says Cleveland is in the presence of the greatest Royal Rumble winner and Intercontinental Champion of all time.

He says he'll fight anyone at any time to prove that he's "The Best In The World", then says he's humble enough to know that things could end at any night. He says WrestleMania 42 will only end one way, and that's with him still being World Heavyweight Champion.
