Becky Lynch vs AJ Lee Set for Intercontinental Title Match at Elimination Chamber – Becky Lynch will defend the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship against AJ Lee at Elimination Chamber on February 28, 2026, after accepting the challenge during the February 9 episode of RAW.
The segment unfolded early in the show as Lynch entered the arena in Cleveland before being interrupted by AJ Lee, who appeared alongside CM Punk. The moment reignited a rivalry that has been building since late 2025 and immediately set the tone for a tense confrontation.
AJ made her way to the ring while trading verbal shots with the champion. Lynch mocked her rival by calling her a “little chihuahua,” while Lee fired back by reminding her of previous victories, referencing wins at WarGames and WrestlePalooza.
AJ initially claimed she was present to support Maxxine Dupri in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, but the conversation quickly turned personal. Lee brought up her involvement in costing Lynch the title at Madison Square Garden, prompting Lynch to ask what it would take to finally end their issues.
That exchange led directly to the challenge. Lynch offered Lee a match at Elimination Chamber, and Lee pushed for the bout to be contested for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The champion agreed, making the title match official.
Lynch enters the contest as a record-setting two-time Women’s Intercontinental Champion after regaining the title from Dupri on January 5. AJ, however, carries momentum into the match after previously scoring a submission victory over Lynch in their mixed tag match at WrestlePalooza.
Elimination Chamber will take place in Chicago, a city closely associated with Lee, adding another layer of energy to an already heated rivalry. The match represents a high-profile collision between two established names with a long history of verbal and physical confrontations.
Reports suggest this may not be the final chapter between the two, with WrestleMania 42 approaching. For now, Lynch has agreed to defend her title, and AJ Lee has the opportunity to add another major win to her record.
