At the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event held last Saturday at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, AJ Lee made a triumphant return by capturing the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Facing off against the reigning champion, Becky Lynch, Lee ended Lynch’s hold on the title after a decade away from singles competition. The victory was sealed when Lynch submitted to Lee’s signature Black Widow hold.

Lyra Valkyria Reacts Strongly to the Championship Outcome

Lyra Valkyria, a long-time admirer of AJ Lee, expressed her astonishment on social media following Lee’s win. She posted, “2026 you’re crazy!” highlighting the dramatic nature of the event’s outcome. Valkyria did not stop there; her comments turned pointed when mentioning Becky Lynch, taking aim at her recent performance.

“Big fan of @BeckyLynchWWE’s tribute to the Irish gardaí at Elimination Chamber; too bad she failed to lay down the law against @TheAJMendez,”

said Lyra Valkyria on Twitter.

Becky Lynch’s Desperate Measures and Controversy After Defeat

Throughout the match, Becky Lynch resorted to extreme tactics in an effort to maintain her championship, including removing a turnbuckle’s padding, kicking referee Jessica Carr in the head, and driving AJ Lee onto a steel chair with a DDT. However, these risky moves backfired when Lynch collided with the exposed turnbuckle, allowing Lee to apply her submission move and secure the victory. Following the loss, Lynch blamed referee Jessica Carr and petitioned RAW GM Adam Pearce for Carr’s suspension.

Adam Pearce denied Lynch’s request to suspend the official, prompting Lynch to declare that she intends to handle her challenges in a tougher manner moving forward, signaling further conflict ahead in the Women’s Intercontinental Championship scene.

Significance of the Title Change and Future Implications

AJ Lee’s surprising comeback and championship win marks a significant shift in the Women’s Intercontinental division, ending Becky Lynch’s lengthy tenure as champion. Valkyria’s pointed remarks reflect growing tensions between the two top competitors, while Lynch’s response suggests ongoing rivalries will intensify. As the storyline develops, fans can expect escalating confrontations and new strategies as Lynch seeks to regain her title.
