The WWE Raw on January 19, 2026, went down at The SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This was a very fun show for fans all around the world, even those in the USA who got the show a bit early this week.
During todays episode of WWE Raw, the WWE Womens Intercontinental Championship match took place as The Man Becky Lynch faced Maxxine Dupri of Alpha Academy.
Becky Lynch came out with some cheers in Ireland, but she tried to put a stop to them with a brutal heel promo. Natalya was also there for Maxxine Dupri, as the two had a backstage segment before the match where Nattie said she had to be there for her.
This match stretched through a commercial break, with Becky Lynch maintaining control of the match. When we came back from commercial, Maxxine Dupri was able to mount an offense, but she was unable to get The Man pinned to the mat for three seconds.
During the match, Becky Lynch exposed the top turnbuckle by taking the pad off. They teased someone going into the turnbuckle and the contest carried on. Eventually, Maxxine Dupri got the ankle lock on, and then Becky Lynch took the exposed turnbuckle. However, when Maxxine pinned Lynch, Natalya put the champions foot on the rope.
As Maxxine Dupri asked Natalya why she did this, Becky Lynch got up, nailed a Man-Handle Slam and retained the title. Natalya looked on with an angry and disappointed face on her after the match.
After the match, Natalya got in the ring and demolished the woman who she used to take under her wing. Youre never gonna learn! Nattie shouted. Then she tried to get Maxxine Dupri to hit her before laying her out once more.
