Becky Lynch has issued a strong warning to Maxxine Dupri as they prepare to face each other on Monday Night RAW next week. This bout marks Maxxine Dupri‘s first appearance on <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wrestling-news/wwe/”>WWE’s red brand in 2024, setting the stage for a high-stakes encounter.
The match was arranged following a backstage confrontation involving Dupri, Natalya, and Akira Tozawa after Lynch’s in-ring segment with Nikki Bella. The Queen of Harts confronted Maxxine for showing disrespect toward the former Divas Champion. Rather than picking a fight with Natalya, Becky chose to confront Maxxine Dupri directly, escalating the tension ahead of their scheduled showdown.
Becky Lynch’s Social Media Message Raises the Stakes
To hype the match further, Becky Lynch posted a video on her social media showing her at the beach engaging in what appeared to be an intense workout. Though the clip ended with her relaxing on a towel, the caption made it clear she’s preparing seriously for the fight, concluding with a clear message: she will see Maxxine in four days.
Bully Ray Criticizes Nikki Bella Following RAW Segment with Becky Lynch
The build-up to the match also involved a heated segment where Becky Lynch, the current Women’s Intercontinental Champion, referenced Nikki Bella’s past relationship with John Cena. Wrestling analyst Bully Ray expressed frustration over the exchange during his appearance on Busted Open, saying the interaction damaged Nikki Bella’s credibility.
“What good does that do to Nikki? You see, can you feel my silence? Does my silence speaking volumes yet? No? What the f**k are we doing over here? I don’t mind them giving Becky Lynch that line. Just make sure Nikki can follow it up. There was no following it up. There was no rebuttal. There was no retort,” he said.
“Nikki looked uncomfortable, because the reaction was so overwhelming and Nikki had to admit, ‘Yeah, you got me and then try to come over the top with, ‘But why don’t you meet me in a wrestling match.’ They left her dead in the water last night. Just for the pop. The heel buried the babyface,” he added.
Implications for Becky Lynch and the WWE Women’s Division
Becky Lynch recently defended her Intercontinental Title successfully against Lyra Valkyria at SummerSlam, which cements her as a dominant force in WWE’s women’s division. With Nikki Bella appearing as a future challenger, her rivalry with Maxxine Dupri could significantly impact storylines on RAW. This match will test Lynch’s resilience and set the tone for forthcoming feuds.
