Speculation around the AJ Lee WrestleMania 42 match has intensified, with reports indicating AJ Lee and Becky Lynch may lock horns at the iconic event in Las Vegas. The ongoing rivalry between these two WWE stars continues to escalate as AJ Lee returned in September, targeting Becky Lynch in a series of high-profile confrontations.
Feud Intensifies After AJ Lee’s WWE Comeback
When AJ Lee made her WWE return last September alongside CM Punk and Seth Rollins, she quickly set her sights on Becky Lynch. Their rivalry reignited after a mixed tag team win at Wrestlepalooza, which saw AJ and Punk emerge victorious. AJ Lee fueled tensions further when she interfered during a RAW match by costing Becky Lynch the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri.
This personal conflict spilled over into Survivor Series: WarGames, where AJ Lee and Becky Lynch found themselves leading opposing teams. Lee’s side, which included Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair, secured a win, deepening the animosity. Despite Becky’s current focus on reclaiming the Women’s Intercontinental title from an Alpha Academy member, her feud with AJ Lee remains at the forefront of WWE storylines.

Possible WrestleMania Showdown Gaining Momentum
Industry insiders are increasingly suggesting that an AJ Lee WrestleMania 42 match against Becky Lynch is under serious consideration for the upcoming Las Vegas event. During a recent Q&A session hosted by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, it was explained that while the bout is not officially confirmed, there is significant buzz behind the scenes, making it likely to take place.
Sapp discussed ongoing rumors regarding AJ Lee’s WWE status, clarifying that she likely has not signed a full-time contract. This part-time arrangement would enable the feud with Becky Lynch to develop gradually, including additional confrontations — potentially even a high-stakes face-off at the Women’s Royal Rumble — before reaching its climax at WrestleMania. Sapp’s comments suggest WWE is strategically pacing the rivalry to keep fans invested until the marquee event.
“When it was hinted at me, ‘Oh, well, you know, she’ll probably be facing Becky at Mania.’ And that’s a probably, it’s not worth reporting. But I was looking at it, and I was like, ‘Well, how on earth are they going to stretch that out seven months if she’s full-time?’Well, she’s not full-time, that’s why. So they do the mixed tag, they do WarGames, probably do a Rumble spot, and they find a way to work it into ‘Mania. That’s what I’m expecting. I honestly, there was a lot of jumping the gun, and that’s a lot of people assuming things with the full-time reports.” — Sean Ross Sapp, Fightful Select Q&A
What’s at Stake for WWE and Its Superstars
This potential matchup has created a surge of interest among wrestling fans, as it promises to bring together two of the most influential figures in contemporary women’s wrestling. AJ Lee’s association with recognizable personalities like CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair only adds star power to the story. Meanwhile, Becky Lynch, determined to recapture the Women’s Intercontinental title, now finds her rivalry with AJ Lee threatening to overshadow her championship ambitions.
With WrestleMania 42 expected to be one of WWE’s largest events, the possible AJ Lee versus Becky Lynch showdown could serve as a defining moment for both wrestlers. The evolving storyline, which may include further action at the Women’s Royal Rumble or on weekly programming, leaves fans eagerly awaiting official confirmation. As WWE continues to fuel speculation, expectations remain high for what could be one of the most dramatic Women’s matches in recent WrestleMania history.
