As seen during the December 1st 2025 edition of WWE RAW, Natalya was featured in a training video package for women’s Intercontinental champion Maxxine Dupri. During an episode of WrestleVotes Radio, the following was said in regards to WWE’s plans for Natalya heading into 2026…

“According to those we spoke to, we can report that Natalya’s work as the Low Key Legend across several different promotions quickly caught the attention of upper management, including how well it was being received by fans everywhere, both in person and online through social media. The decision was then made to bring the character to WWE with hopes that Nattie will be a vital part and a strong part of the Women’s Division going forward.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)

While speaking to Busted Open Radio, Natalya commented on the video…

“In the time that I’ve been training Maxxine (Dupri)… what we do in The Dungeon, that’s not Natalya training. That’s Nattie training and so the world just got a little glimpse of it. They got a little glimpse of Nattie training Maxxine and if you let people walk all over you in the very, very beginning, they will be doing it for your entire career, and so I really wanted Maxxine to understand that… If we see Nattie in a WWE ring — you guys saw a little taste of it but, if Nattie gets to a WWE ring, there’s gonna be a lot of receipts.” (quote courtesy of Fightful.com)
