Becky Lynch wins Women’s Intercontinental title at WWE WrestleMania 42
Becky Lynch is Women’s Intercontinental Champion once again.
Lynch dethroned AJ Lee Saturday at WrestleMania to win the Women’s Intercontinental Championship for the third time. Throughout the match, Lynch got confrontational with referee Jessika Carr, who ended up shoving Lynch in the process. After Lynch did a hair pull, the referee got distracted long enough for Lynch to undo the turnbuckle. Lee went for a splash in the corner but Lynch dragged the referee into the corner, sending her down. The confusion lasted long enough for Becky to grab Lee and throw her into the turnbuckle, then scored the win with the manhandle slam.
The Wonder Years played Lynch to the ring ahead of her match, while Lee camie out with little girls wearing her outfit.
Lynch and Lee had been feuding for the last several months, dating back to Wrestlepalooza when Lee and CM Punk defeated Seth Rollins and Lynch in a tag team match. After submitting Lynch at Survivor Series, Lee won the Intercontinental title at Elimination Chamber in February. However their feud was not over, with a WrestleMania challenge being issued not too long after February’s PLE.
