AJ Lee will defend her Women’s Intercontinental Championship in a rematch against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 42, following their latest confrontation during “WWE Raw.”
Lee returned to the corporate for the primary time in over a decade last 12 months alongside her husband, CM Punk, to feud with Lynch and her husband, Seth Rollins. She accomplished her return to the ring with a win alongside Punk against Lynch and Rollins at Wrestlepalooza in September.
Lee further secured victory together with her team over Lynch and hers in Women’s WarGames at Survivor Series, and the feud continued into the brand new 12 months. Lee beat Lynch of their first singles match at Elimination Chamber in February, capturing the Intercontinental Championship.
Lynch attacked Lee after her defense of the title during last week’s “Raw,” beating Bayley, and that led into Monday night’s show together with her emerging to run down her rival and the fans. Sure enough, Lynch was interrupted by the emerging Lee and needed to retreat, and Lee then went on to make the challenge for them to have a rematch at WrestleMania.
Lynch laughed and said that the champion had fallen into her trap, and that is what she at all times wanted. But Lee was unwavered by that and promised to beat her over again.
