Becky Lynch finally scored a win over AJ Lee on Saturday night in their WWE Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania 42, Night 1 in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Yet, it didn't come without the typical Lynch shenanigans.
Lynch and Lee wasted no time going after each other. The pair quickly spilled to the outside of the ring, where Lee took a Fallaway Slam against the barricade. Once back in the ring, the story within the match turned to Lynch trying to cheat by taking off a corner turnbuckle — until referee Jessica Carr stopped it.
Lee then nailed a big missile drop kick before worked toward her first potential Black Widow submission. Unfortunately for Lee, her momentum was swiftly halted by a Powerbomb after a failed Shining Wizard.
A second Black Widow submission attempt followed for Lee, but she was too close to the corner and found herself slung into it like a rag doll. Lee ate a subsequent Manhandle Slam, kicking out at two.
Lynch suddenly began really getting in Carr's face and they started to shove each other. Lynch ran toward the champion, getting caught in her own move, as Lee landed the Manhandle Slam. After some strikes, Lynch went for another, but was countered with the Black Widow, which locked on.
It wasn't meant to be though, as Lynch escaped with some heel hair-pulling tactics. That opened a moment for Lynch to pull the turnbuckle back off, use Carr as a shield for a Lee splash, then knock Lee into the exposed metal and hit the Manhandle Slam, allowing Lynch to become a three-time WWE Intercontinental Champion.
