Becky Lynch wins Women’s Intercontinental title at WWE WrestleMania 42

Posted on by Bryan Rose

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.

Becky Lynch is once again the Women’s Intercontinental Champion.

Lynch defeated Maxxine Dupri through underhanded tactics on Monday in order to become a two-time Women’s Intercontinental Champion. The finish had Dupri apply the ankle lock to Lynch, who struggled to escape. However, when Dupri went to the floor, Lynch managed to bridge Dupri for a cover then grabbed the ropes to ensure a three-count.

After the match, a jubilant Lynch celebrated with her title as Dupri was left stunned by the result in the ring.

Dupri shocked the world in November when she pinned Lynch to win the championship, her first in WWE. Lynch had become distracted by the returning  AJ Lee, which allowed Dupri to launch off with a crossbody. Prior to their match, Dupri had also been successful in defeating Lynch on two other occasions.

In the weeks since losing the title, as well as losing at War Games, Lynch launched a boycott angry about her recent losses, refusing to appear on Raw. Lynch eventually broke that boycott and confronted Dupri, leading the two to agree to a title rematch for Monday.

Becky Lynch doesn’t want Natalya, she wants Nattie.

In a video posted on Instagram, Lynch shared footage of Natalya telling Lynch she’ll never stoop to her level then showing footage of Natalya attacking Lynch from behind through the years.

“bring this version or Nattie. I’m sick of Natalya. Ps. I never forget,” the caption reads.

Natalya and Lynch have been feuding in the last couple of weeks on Raw, with Lynch defeating Natalya’s protoge Maxxine Dupri on last week’s show. It was announced earlier this weekend that the two will now meet on Monday for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.

2025 has seen Natalya adopt a new, more aggressive attitude outside of WWE when making appearances for promotions such as the NWA and GCW, where she has competed on Bloodsport cards. On these shows, she’s been billing herself as Nattie Neidhart as opposed to Natalya.

At Saturday’s Triplemania, she competed for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship against Faby Apache and champion Flammer under her Nattie Neidhart persona. Flammer retained her title after pining Apache despite her foot being on the ropes.

Raquel Rodriguez is next in line for a Women’s Intercontinental title match.

Rodriguez earned a future shot at Lyra Valkyria by defeating Bayley on Raw. The end of the match saw both Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio interfere. Bayley knocked Morgan off the apron and went for a dive on the outside but Rodriguez countered by slamming her onto the announce table. Bayley was able to make it back into the ring before the count of ten, but Raquel connected with a big boot and a tejana bomb for the win.

Valkyria won the title back on the January 13 edition of Raw, defeating Dakota Kai in the finals to crown the first-ever champion. She last defended it on the March 3, where she defeated Ivy Nile. She also recently defeated Dakota Kai in a rematch.

Since her return at last year’s Bad Blood, Rodriguez has been a part of Judgment Day, mostly associating herself with Liv Morgan and assisting her during Morgan’s run with the Women’s World title. On the February 24 edition of Raw, they defeated Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill to win the Women’s Tag Team titles.
