Becky Lynch is the new WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion.
Lynch defeated AJ Lee at WrestleMania 42 Night One to win the championship for a third time.
Below is an excerpt from Mike Tedesco’s WrestleMania 42 Night One recap of how the title change took place.
Lynch gets Lee in the corner and stomps her down. The referee admonishes her, so Lynch gets in her face. Carr shouts back at her. Lynch shoves her, so Carr shoves her back! Lynch is furious and charges her, but Carr ducks. Lee hits Lynch with a Manhandle Slam! 1… 2… Lynch kicks out of her own move! Lynch and Lee trade punches from their knees before getting to their feet. Lynch goes for a Manhandle Slam, but Lee counters into the Black Widow! Lynch screams in pain and reaches for the ropes. Lynch grabs Lee’s hair and pulls her down. Lynch then sneakily pulls the turnbuckle pad off. Lynch pulls Carr in front of her as Lee goes for an avalanche. Lynch smashes Lee’s face off the exposed turnbuckle and hits the Manhandle Slam! The referee didn’t see it! 1… 2… 3!
