WWE Monday Night RAW took place on Monday, January 26, 2026, at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The show also served as the go-home RAW ahead of the Royal Rumble, which was set for August 31 in Saudi Arabia.
One of the highlighted moments featured Natalya addressing the WWE Universe following her heel turn on Maxxine Dupri the week before. After being aligned with Dupri, Natalya shocked fans by turning on her, setting off a wave of backlash and questions going into this episode.
Natalyas actions had directly cost Maxxine during her Womens Intercontinental Title match against Becky Lynch, when the betrayal distracted Dupri and shifted the momentum of the bout. With the fallout still fresh, Natalya came to the ring in Toronto ready to answer for what she did and explain why she decided to turn her back on Maxxine.
Natalya appeared in a backstage promo during RAW this week. She made it clear that Maxxine Dupri failed her. Then Nattie said this is a whole new me. She also proclaimed that shes coming for Dupri after shes finished. She said that Natalya elevates, but Nattie discriminates.
