AJ Lee made a surprising comeback to WWE in September 2025 after a ten-year absence, aligning with her husband CM Punk in a feud against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins. The collaboration led to a mixed tag team victory for Lee and Punk at Wrestlepalooza 2025, highlighting the renewed rivalry.
Escalating Conflicts and Title Implications
Following her return, AJ Lee played a crucial role in undermining Lynch’s status, costing her the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship in November 2025. Lee then spearheaded a team comprising Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss to triumph over Lynch’s team during the Women’s WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series 2025. These developments intensified the competition between Lee and Lynch, focusing attention on the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Anticipation Builds for WrestleMania 42 Showdown
Having forced “The Man” to submit on two occasions recently, AJ Lee is now poised to challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship in the highly anticipated main event of WrestleMania 42. This clash is expected to elevate the prominence of the title and provide fans with a memorable conclusion to their ongoing saga.
