AJ Lee will compete in her first WrestleMania match in more than ten years.
Confirmed on the March 23 edition of Raw in Boston, AJ will defend the Women's Intercontinental Championship against her long-time rival, Becky Lynch. During the segment, Becky referenced Lee's 2015 departure, a reminder of how much WWE has changed since then.
Vince McMahon no longer owns the company, Triple H now serves as Head of Creative, and the women's division has evolved dramatically. With AJ back in the ring, it’s easy to forget what led her to leave WWE in the first place.
Lee recently turned 39. She was only 28 when she initially retired. Ironically, Becky Lynch is the same age, highlighting the contrast in their careers over the past decade. During Lee's departure, Lynch revolutionized the women’s division, becoming the first woman to win in the main-event WrestleMania.
AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 42 will mark another historic moment: it will be the first time a women's secondary singles title is defended at the Showcase of the Immortals.
