AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch Reportedly Locked In for WrestleMania 42 – A major match for WrestleMania 42 appears to be close to confirmation. According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, a singles match between AJ Lee and Becky Lynch is viewed internally as one of the more “locked in” bouts for the event, despite ongoing creative adjustments elsewhere on the card.
The report notes that while WWE’s WrestleMania plans have seen several changes as the build continues, this matchup has been discussed and planned for a considerable amount of time. If it moves forward as expected, the match would represent a major milestone in AJ Lee’s return run with the company.
Lee returned to WWE in September 2025 under a part-time agreement, ending a long absence from in-ring competition. Since that return, she has not yet competed in a one-on-one match. Her first match back came at Wrestlepalooza in September 2025, where she teamed with her husband CM Punk in a mixed tag team bout against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins. That match ended with Lee forcing Lynch to submit to the Black Widow, a finish that immediately reignited fan interest in a potential singles clash between the two.
The tension between Lee and Lynch has been present since the moment Lee reappeared on WWE television. On the September 5, 2025 episode of SmackDown, Lee made a surprise return to come to Punk’s aid following a verbal and physical confrontation involving Rollins and Lynch. That segment laid the groundwork for their mixed tag team match, but it also left unfinished business between Lee and Lynch that has lingered ever since.
Despite limited in-ring appearances, Lee’s return has been treated as a significant attraction. WWE has largely protected the idea of her first singles match back, adding to the anticipation surrounding who her opponent would be and where that match would take place. WrestleMania has long been viewed as the most likely stage.
If AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch does indeed take place at WrestleMania 42, it would mark a first-time-ever singles encounter between two of the most influential women of different WWE eras. Lee helped define the early stages of WWE’s women’s evolution, while Lynch became one of the company’s biggest stars during its modern expansion. A clash between the former Divas Champion and “The Man” would be positioned as one of the marquee women’s matches on the card.
