WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch and AJ Lee have never had a prolonged singles rivalry on the main roster since Lee’s departure from WWE in 2015. However, we may be heading towards a rematch between the two at WrestleMania 42 following their upcoming match at Elimination Chamber for Lynch’s Intercontinental Championship.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has had plans since late January for Lynch and Lee to face off at Elimination Chamber, which would be followed by a rematch at WrestleMania. Meltzer mentioned that this approach would “make sense” in the end.
By scheduling the title defense at Elimination Chamber, WWE can explore the dynamic between the two without closing the door on a larger storyline at WrestleMania 42.
Currently, Lynch holds the Women’s Intercontinental Championship and is positioned as a central figure in the company’s weekly programming.
