Things are about to get personal on WWE Raw. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce has officially booked a rematch between Maxxine Dupri and Natalya — now going by Nattie — for the February 23 episode in Atlanta.

The announcement comes after their February 9 encounter spiraled into chaos, lasting just 1 minute and 35 seconds before both women were counted out. No winner. No closure. Just tension left simmering. Pearce didn’t sugarcoat the situation when revealing the bout during his weekly rundown.

That “bad blood” stems directly from the abrupt finish two weeks ago, where neither competitor managed to beat the referee’s ten-count. Now, with the spotlight back on them, there won’t be any excuses.

The February 23, 2026 edition of Raw will take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, and the show is loaded beyond just this grudge match. A tribute to AJ Styles is set for the night, while Brock Lesnar is also scheduled to appear.

Two major Elimination Chamber qualifying matches are on deck, including Raquel Rodriguez vs. IYO SKY vs. Kairi Sane, and Bronson Reed vs. Jey Uso vs. Original El Grande Americano. On top of that, Liv Morgan will make her WrestleMania decision.

Confirmed lneup for WWE Raw on Monday, February 23, 2026:

  • Elimination Chamber qualifying match: Bronson Reed vs. Jey Uso vs. Original El Grande Americano

With pride on the line and unfinished business hanging over them, Dupri and Nattie now have one more shot to settle it in the ring — and this time, there won’t be room for a double count-out.
