With WrestleMania 42 just a few months away, the event is set to return to Las Vegas for the second consecutive year, but the lineup is still taking shape. Reports suggest that WWE Champion Drew McIntyre might face Cody Rhodes or be part of a triple threat match including Jacob Fatu, but details remain scarce until after the Royal Rumble. WWE is already working on matchmaking that fans are eager to see.
One highly anticipated match on the horizon is Becky Lynch versus AJ Lee. According to Fightful Select’s WrestleVotes Radio, this match is viewed as one of the most compelling bouts for WrestleMania. Although creative plans have changed often, this matchup has been in the works for a while. AJ Lee, who left WWE in 2015, made a surprising return last year, receiving a warm welcome. She first appeared on SmackDown to support her husband CM Punk in a tag team match where Lee and Punk defeated Lynch and Seth Rollins at Wrestlepalooza. AJ Lee later helped Maxine Drupi claim the Women’s Intercontinental Championship from Lynch, setting them on opposing sides at Survivor Series, which ended with Lynch tapping out but with the story far from over.
As WrestleMania 42 approaches, Becky Lynch recently reclaimed the title from Maxine Drupi, sparking speculation about who her next challenger will be. AJ Lee is the natural contender. WWE could reintroduce Lee via the Royal Rumble, possibly ending Lynch’s dominant run before WrestleMania, or simply have Lee appear on Raw to renew the rivalry. It is nearly certain Lynch vs. Lee will headline WrestleMania 42, with the big question being who will come out on top. Lee already has two victories over Lynch, costing her a title opportunity, so WWE fans are keen to see if Lee will rise again or if Lynch will retain her championship.
Fan Take: This matchup between Becky Lynch and AJ Lee is a dream encounter for WWE fans, reigniting a beloved rivalry with high stakes. It highlights how WWE’s blend of nostalgia and fresh storytelling can drive excitement, potentially elevating the women’s division and leaving a lasting impact on the sport.
