Becky Lynch: AJ Lee “Done Nothing” For Title Shot

Lynch Dismisses AJ Lee’s Title Hopes Ahead of Elimination Chamber Showdown

The stakes are sky-high as the WWE heads towards the Elimination Chamber, with a coveted spot at WrestleMania on the line. But before the chaos of the chamber itself, a fiery encounter is set to ignite the women’s division. WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, affectionately known as ‘The Man’, pulled no punches in a recent interview, vehemently stating that her challenger at Saturday’s event, AJ Lee, has “done nothing to deserve a title shot.”

Lynch’s Dominance vs. Lee’s Decade Away

Lynch, who is set to defend her championship against Lee, expressed zero nerves about the upcoming match. Instead, her focus was squarely on Lee’s perceived lack of merit for this opportunity. “She’s been gone for a decade,” Lynch declared. “People have enjoyed that decade. They’ve enjoyed it immensely, mostly because I’ve been on top almost the entire time since she’s been gone.” The reigning champion sees this match as a definitive way to “get rid of her once and for all,” predicting that the people of Chicago will be pleased with the outcome, while any who mourn Lee’s departure are “not very intelligent people.”

Comparing Resumes: Lynch Claims GOAT Status

AJ Lee has been vocal, using her time away to craft narratives and challenge Lynch’s standing. However, Lynch dismissed these attempts, stating, “She’s really putting her foot in her mouth. She’s out there comparing resumes to me. You can’t compare resumes to me.” The ‘Irish Lass kicker’ confidently asserted her claim as the “greatest female wrestler of all time,” citing endorsements from major sports publications like Sports Illustrated and Bleacher Report. Lynch even pointed to her own history with SportsCenter, highlighting her status as the only woman to have a SportsCenter commercial, a feat Lee has not achieved.

“She was she she she great. She was she she was she had some fans in her time, but her time is done. It’s my time and it’s been my time for the last decade.” – Becky Lynch

‘A Marathon, Not a Hiccup’

When pressed on Lee’s assessment of the match as a clash between “generational bests,” Lynch scoffed at the comparison. She characterized Lee’s tenure as a mere “hiccup” or a “cup of tea,” a brief interruption in the grand scheme of things. In stark contrast, Lynch described her own career as a “marathon,” one she has dominated, winning “many titles,” almost every title available, and achieving every significant milestone in WWE. This includes winning the Royal Rumble, gracing the cover of the WWE video game, and main-eventing WrestleMania, Raw, and SmackDown – accomplishments Lynch states Lee has “done none of these things.”

Lynch Predicts Retirement, Hints at Conspiracy

Looking ahead to the match, which marks Lee’s first singles contest in over ten years, Lynch is ready to “retire her.” She ominously declared, “Unfortunately for her, she will be the least talented AJ to retire this year.” For Lynch, a victory at Elimination Chamber is not just about retaining her championship; it’s about solidifying her legacy. “It proves what I say that I am and what everybody else says that I am, which is the greatest female wrestler of all time.” Conversely, Lynch warned that any victory for Lee would be a sign of “corruption,” suggesting a “great corporate conspiracy” or “corrupt referees” would be the only means by which Lee could possibly win.
