During this week’s WWE RAW episode, Becky Lynch clashed verbally with AJ Lee, setting the stage for a competition that extends beyond wrestling. Lynch, the Women’s Intercontinental Champion, revealed plans to launch a comic series inspired by her life, directly responding to AJ Lee’s prior comic endeavors by staking her own claim in the comic world.
Announcing the project on X, Lynch described her comic’s protagonist as a wrestler by day and a crime fighter by night. She emphasized that AJ Lee is mistaken if she believes she’s the only wrestler who can write comics and criticized figures within WWE, labeling RAW General Manager Adam Pearce and referee Jessika Carr as corrupt influences. Becky also expressed confidence that her comic would not only succeed in print but also transition into a film franchise, imagining a “Becky Cinematic Universe.”
“Huge NEWS!!! BTB Comics is in development! YESSS!!! ABSOLUTE JOKE thinks she’s the only one that can write a comic?! INCASE SHE forgot, I am a NEW YORK TIMES best-selling author. Our first title, THE ADVENTURES OF BIG TIME BECKS, is going to be a huge SUCCESS. By day, mild mannered Rebecca (BASED ON ME!) is a beloved wrestler who is loved by all (A VERY NOBLE PROFESSION BY THE WAY). At night, I’m a VIGILANTE fighting against the corruption in my fair city. With a rogues’ gallery like PUTRID PETTY PEARCE, CACKLING CORRUPT CARR, SCUMMY SAM, it’s a sure-fire hit! IMAGINE the big-screen version?! We can have a whole BECKY CINEMATIC UNIVERSE!!!” – Becky Lynch, Women’s Intercontinental Champion
Verbal confrontations ignite between Becky Lynch and AJ Lee on WWE RAW
The exchange between Lynch and Lee during WWE RAW highlighted a fierce rivalry extending beyond the ring. AJ Lee accused Becky Lynch of playing catch-up after a decade’s absence from writing comics, asserting Lee’s own focus on comic creation during that time. Lynch countered by pointing out her emphasis on winning wrestling titles over the past ten years instead of creating comics.
AJ Lee, aiming to provoke Lynch, invited her to a physical confrontation and even offered Lynch a free punch, attempting to break the tension with a challenge. However, Lynch declined, stating she didn’t want AJ Lee to use any altercation as a justification for a potential loss at their upcoming Elimination Chamber match.
Upcoming showdown and stakes for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship
Becky Lynch is set to defend the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against AJ Lee at Elimination Chamber, to be held in Chicago on February 28, 2026. The match promises intense competition on Lee’s home turf, raising anticipation over which wrestler will walk away with the title. With both women bringing unique strengths—Lynch’s championship experience and Lee’s comic creativity—this rivalry captivates WWE fans on multiple levels.
Potential impact and future developments from Becky Lynch’s comic launch
Becky Lynch’s entry into the comic book industry marks a significant expansion of her persona beyond wrestling. Positioning herself as a New York Times best-selling author and a protagonist juggling dual lives, her comic project could broaden her fanbase and rival AJ Lee’s existing comic work. The vision of a “Becky Cinematic Universe” suggests ambitions to cross over into films, potentially shaping a new entertainment avenue tied to WWE personalities.
This development intensifies the ongoing competition between Lynch and Lee, blending wrestling storylines with creative ventures outside the ring, and could influence how WWE talent diversifies their brands going forward.
