An underutilized WWE RAW star is set to wrestle on the brand for the first time in 281 days.
When it comes to featuring on a big show like Monday Night RAW, spots are limited, even for the biggest WWE superstars. However, on tonight’s episode, it was announced that an underutilized star would wrestle a match on the brand for the first time in 281 days.
The star in question is the Alpha Academy’s Maxxine Dupri. Over the last few months, Durpi has served as a manager of sorts to Otis and Akira Tozawa. Her last match on the red brand was way back in November of 2024, when she was involved in a Battle Royal.
Now, she is set to don her ring gear on next week’s episode of RAW, courtesy of the Women’s Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch. The Man chose to face her after being confronted by Natalya backstage. Lynch ignored the veteran’s challenge and instead gave the opportunity to Dupri.

It will be interesting to see if Maxxine Dupri is up for the challenge next week. It certainly won’t be easy, especially considering she will be stepping into the ring with one of the greatest of all time.
Becky Lynch fired some major shots at Nikki Bella on WWE RAW
Speaking of Becky Lynch, prior to giving Maxxine Dupri an opportunity, she was involved in a heated segment with Nikki Bella on RAW. The Man was confronted by the Hall of Famer in the middle of the ring. The two went at it on the mic, with Bella claiming that Lynch had “handcuffed” the women’s division.
She didn’t stop there, though, and even brought up Seth Rollins. This would prove to be a huge mistake on Bella’s end, as Lynch retaliated in savage fashion. She mentioned how she and Rollins are the new power couple of WWE, before mentioning that the title used to belong to Bella and John Cena.
This received a huge reaction from the WWE Universe, and it got even louder when Lynch suggested that Bella “can’t see him” anymore. It was a chaotic segment that left Nikki Bella a little embarrassed.
