WrestleMania 42 Saturday took place at Allegiant Stadium, where fans witnessed a high-profile clash for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship between Becky Lynch and AJ Lee.
AJ Lee entered the match as champion, making her first WrestleMania appearance in eleven years. The bout carried added attention due to her return and the significance of defending the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on this stage.
Both competitors had elaborate entrances. Becky Lynch was accompanied by a live performance from The Wonder Years, while AJ Lee was led to the ring with a themed presentation that included multiple performers styled after her, each carrying replica title belts.
Jessika Carr officiated the match and became part of the story as the action unfolded. Lynch controlled the early portion, forcing Lee onto the defensive. During this stretch, Lynch removed the top turnbuckle pad, only for Carr to step in and restore it while warning her.
The pace shifted as Lee gained momentum. She delivered a missile dropkick from the top rope that resulted in a near fall. Lynch responded by regaining control and targeting Lee in the corner, forcing Carr to intervene and separate them. That led to a brief confrontation between Lynch and the referee.
The match continued to escalate. Lee countered with a Manhandle Slam for a close near fall, keeping the outcome in doubt. She later applied the Black Widow submission, but Lynch managed to escape before the hold could secure a finish.
The closing sequence saw Lynch once again remove the turnbuckle pad. As Carr moved to address the situation, Lynch pulled the referee into position, using her as a shield. This created an opening for Lynch to drive Lee into the exposed turnbuckle. She followed up with her finisher to secure the victory.
With the win, Becky Lynch captured the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship for the third time. The result marked another milestone in her career and added to the ongoing developments in the division.
AJ Lee’s return added historical significance to the match, as it was her first WrestleMania appearance in over a decade and a notable title defense on a major stage.
