AJ Lee may not be working a full-time WWE schedule, but dont let that fool youher WrestleMania plans are very real.
According to a new report from WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select on January 22, 2026, a singles match between AJ Lee and Becky Lynch is considered locked in for WrestleMania 42. After months of speculation, WWE seems ready to pull the trigger on one of the most anticipated dream matches in recent memory.
This clears the air following earlier reports that cast doubt on AJ Lees commitment to a full-time WWE schedule. Back on January 3, Sean Ross Sapp noted during a Fightful Select Q&A show that AJs sporadic appearances didnt line up with how WWE typically books full-timers.
Still, AJs presence has loomed large. Her shocking SmackDown return on September 5, 2025where she laid out Becky Lynch and grabbed the Womens Intercontinental Titleset this rivalry in motion. That night, she also saved her husband CM Punk from an attack by Lynch and Seth Rollins.
Shes competed twice since then, teaming with Punk to defeat Lynch and Rollins in a mixed tag match at Wrestlepalooza and then at Survivor Series: WarGames. AJ scored the win by making Becky tap out to the Black Widow at Survivor Seriesfurther building toward a one-on-one match.
Now, fans are finally set to get what theyve been waiting for: AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch, one-on-one, on the grandest stage of them all. WWE hasnt made the match official yet, but this new report confirms its in motion behind the scenesand unless something drastic changes, its happening.
