Fans have been witness to a variety of video vignettes on “Raw” following her Women’s Intercontinental Championship victory, showing Dupri working out in the Dudgeon alongside Natalya’s “Low Key Legend” character, Nattie. Dupri said that Natalya, and her husband, former WWE star-turned-producer TJ Wilson, have single handedly changed the direction of her career thanks to their training.

“I think so much of this last year and everyone saying, ‘Oh, Maxxine’s improved a lot and we’re seeing this new side.’ It’s truly what we do in the Dudgeon,” she explained. “Nattie says [it’s] finding my ‘FU.’ It’s the way that they push me to my limits in there… Pressure makes diamonds. They have to break you to make you and that is what happens in the Dudgeon.”

Dupri said that the things she’s learning in the Dudgeon are applicable to what she needs to be doing to remain on top of things in her matches to be able to stay on the offensive, as well as to reverse certain moves. She credited her training for her victory in her recent match against Ivy Nile. Dupri is set to square off with Lynch for the Women’s IC title once again on the first “Raw” of 2026.
