In her first WrestleMania since 2015, AJ Lee is about to defend the Women’s WWE Intercontinental Championship against now-bitter rival Becky Lynch. The 2 last faced off at Elimination Chamber 2026, where Lee captured the title after making Lynch tap out, and in accordance with the reigning champion, she’ll walk away with the win again at WrestleMania.
“I’m hoping Becky just, you recognize, gets out of my life now,” Lee said during an interview with ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” expressing that she feels that she’s proven that she will be able to still hang with the present day stars at this stage, but feels Lynch won’t back down unless she’s humiliated at WrestleMania. “After which I can move on to the remainder of the roster and get my hands on anybody who wants a shot on the title!”
When asked what she plans to do first after beating Lynch at WrestleMania, Lee had a fair simpler answer.
“Eat a lot cake,” Lee said. “So many cookies! All I need is just all of the carbs on the planet, you recognize? I consider carbs are life, I still have them, I still have treats while I’m training but minimal, because we’re attempting to be as top shape as possible. However the second that match is over, it’s on!”
On the time of writing, Lynch has yet to make any predictions of her own in the case of WrestleMania 42. Ahead of the Royal Rumble back in January, nevertheless, ‘The Man’ claimed that her tapping out at WrestlePalooza was a fluke, and proclaimed that she was planning to beat Lee and send her off to a different ten-year retirement.
