Becky Lynch WrestleMania Feud reached a new milestone when WWE announced that Becky Lynch and AJ Lee will face off for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event on February 28. This confrontation comes after months of anticipation surrounding the rivalry between the two wrestlers.
AJ Lee Returns and Confronts Becky Lynch
AJ Lee made a surprising return to Monday Night Raw, immediately reigniting tensions with Becky Lynch. Lee’s direct challenge compelled Lynch to accept the title match in front of an eager live audience. As the night progressed, a volatile incident unfolded when Lee rushed to protect Maxxine Dupri from an assault. In response, Lynch attacked Lee from behind, driving her shoulder into the ring post, intensifying the hostility between them.
Feud Expected to Continue Through WrestleMania 42
Although their scheduled match at the Elimination Chamber is confirmed, insiders indicate the story will carry forward beyond February. Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer revealed that the rivalry was designed to culminate at WrestleMania 42. He explained,
“They had their story to set up the thing. I was expecting this match at Mania. But I was told, you know, that there’s a reason it’s here, and the story goes till Mania. So it all play out. I was just basically told, I go, like, you know, ‘I thought there’s gonna be a Mania. And it’s like, Don’t worry, it all plays out to get there.”
