Becky Lynch has openly challenged AJ Lee in the lead-up to WWE’s Royal Rumble, scheduled to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Speaking on ESPN’s First Take, Lynch invited the former Divas Champion to join the 30-woman over-the-top-rope battle royal, warning that if Lee enters the match, she intends to end her career.
Details and Rumors Surrounding the Royal Rumble Entrants
This year, only sixteen competitors have officially been confirmed for the Royal Rumble, leaving fourteen open positions potentially filled by surprise participants. Although AJ Lee has made no official announcement about returning, speculation remains strong about her possible involvement in the event. Lynch’s assertive message adds further intrigue to the rumors surrounding the match card.
If she would like to show up, I would like to beat her and retire her and send her off and hopefully we won’t see her for another decade. That would be wonderful.
