The road to WrestleMania 42 heated up on the March 23, 2026, episode of WWE RAW, as a big title match was officially announced. Becky Lynch vs AJ Lee just got confirmed for the Women’s Intercontinental title match at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Becky Lynch kicked off the segment looking clearly frustrated. She spoke about her issues with AJ Lee and also questioned why fans continue to support her so strongly. Lynch compared their time away from WWE. She asserted that she was gone for only 10 months, while AJ Lee was away for nearly 10 years.
The Man got personal during her promo. She shared that after losing at Elimination Chamber, she went home hoping for some peace. Instead, she found her daughter singing AJ Lee’s entrance song and hopping like her. That moment made the former WWE Intercontinental Champion even more annoyed with Lee.
Becky Lynch then talked about her legacy, calling herself the greatest WWE superstar of all time. She gave AJ Lee credit for her role during the Divas Era, but claimed she was the one who ended the Divas Era and took women’s wrestling to a higher level.

That brought AJ Lee out to the ring. This time, she didn’t do her usual entrance. Lee charged at Lynch directly, but The Man backed away immediately and avoided a direct confrontation. The WWe Intercontinental Champion then climbed onto the announce table and said she has always been better than Lynch in the ring, and she can prove it again anytime.
AJ Lee then made it clear that she wants one more match against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 42, with the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line.
“Maybe I have to embarrass your ass one more time and tap you out in front of the whole world on the biggest stage of them all,” Lee said.
“I will give you what you want- AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch for the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania,” Lee added.
Lynch accepted the challenge and suggested that Lee skipped right into her “trap.” She then brought up the night after WrestleMania 31, when AJ Lee retired, and warned that history would repeat itself, but this time with Lynch ending her career.
