00:00Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Wonder Years.
00:31Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Wonder Years.
01:00Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Wonder Years.
01:26The champion champ, introducing first the champion from Dublin, Ireland, the man, Becky Lynch.
03:30And now for the first time in 11 years at WrestleMania, AJ Lee skips her way to the ring.
03:43Okay, you saw Becky confronting the official Jessica Carr moments ago.
03:48Go ahead.
03:48I am absolutely furious.
03:51Sorry to take the shine from this entrance of AJ Lee fans, but I cannot fail to notice that the
03:57official who has been placed in charge of this championship matchup is none other than Jessica Carr.
04:05Jessica Fast Count Carr, who has been a major thorn in the side of the challenger Becky Lynch for the
04:13past 12 months costing her several matches.
04:16And I'll tell you this right now, Michael Cole.
04:19And I'll tell you this right now, Michael Cole, there is zero chance Jessica Carr is going to be unbiased
04:22in this one.
04:23It is a conspiracy.
04:25It is a scandal.
04:30And this match tonight is brought to you by Wendy's.
04:34Wendy's invented the spicy chicken sandwich.
04:36And now they're reinventing it.
04:38They get it crispier than ever before.
04:40Wendy's spicy chicken.
04:42We're so back.
04:45AJ Lee defending the Intercontinental Championship against Becky Lynch.
04:50And for Becky, there's really just one key strategy in this match tonight.
04:55That is avoid the submission move known as the Black Widow.
04:59They've met three times over the past seven months.
05:03Three times.
05:04Becky has tapped out to the Black Widow.
05:07Well, I'll half agree with you.
05:09Yes, avoid the Black Widow at all costs because that is a guaranteed L.
05:13The other half is avoid the biased refereeing decision of Jessica Fast Count.
05:18How much is Becky paying you to keep up this propaganda to give her an out when she loses to
05:24AJ tonight?
05:24Doesn't have to pay me a penny.
05:25I speak the truth unlike you, Michael Cole.
05:2725 years plus of nonsense right here at WrestleMania.
05:31Congratulations.
05:32And this has become very personal between these two.
05:35Becky Lynch revealing that her five-year-old daughter, her favorite wrestler, AJ Lee.
05:43Long-standing rival.
05:45Stratman a couple of eras as you mentioned.
05:47But AJ has simply been kryptonite for Becky Lynch ever since returning.
05:52Delivering multiple humiliations at the man.
05:56And that humiliation may be complete with victory tonight.
06:00Becky Lynch though, we cannot ignore her resume at WrestleMania.
06:04One of the great resumes.
06:05Four wins.
06:06Tied for the most of all time in the women's division.
06:10Lynch from the office already coming unglued here.
06:13But nice bit of power here from the Irish woman.
06:15Yeah, suckering AJ Lee.
06:17And a halfway slam into the barricade.
06:20Well, the first 30 seconds of this match were an absolute disaster for Lynch.
06:24Well, that is an example right there of why she is permanently championship caliber.
06:30Continues to make history does Becky Lynch.
06:35WrestleMania 32 when she won the inaugural WWE Women's Championship.
06:40Becky, of course, part of the main event.
06:42First women's main event in WrestleMania history back at WrestleMania 35.
06:46And now Lynch.
06:47Oh!
06:47What a leg drop off the top rope.
06:49Cover now by Becky to win the title and a kick out by Lee.
06:52Yeah, you're not going to put AJ Lee away that easily.
06:55But certainly softening up the champ and doing some major damage from the arm.
07:00Gritting her teeth.
07:02Well, Becky's got to be careful because the official Jessica Carr is a cheat.
07:06Well, not going to take anything from Becky tonight.
07:09And Becky now with a clothesline.
07:11Very intense.
07:12Very determined.
07:13Becky with a big squatter.
07:14Sending AJ to the center of the ring.
07:16Crawls.
07:16To the cover.
07:17Hook to the leg.
07:18On Lee.
07:18Kick out at two.
07:19Well, it's been Becky Lynch's greatest hits in the first 90 seconds of this matchup.
07:24And there is no relenting.
07:26Just pure hatred oozing out of the pores of Lynch.
07:30Well, Becky should be concentrating a bit more on AJ than Bucky.
07:32Well, hold on.
07:36Well, AJ taking out the turn bucket pack.
07:38Well, what on earth is she doing that for?
07:40Well, that came back to bite her at the elimination chamber.
07:43She ended up regretting it and losing the match.
07:47Screaming in the ear of Jessica Carr.
07:51I can't.
07:52I can't with you because you are absolutely insane.
07:55You know that?
07:56You're absolutely insane.
07:57You can't call a competitor that if you are a neutral official.
08:01Just call the competitor insane.
08:03Oh, now AJ rolling up Becky may catch her here in a kick out at two.
08:06Yeah, nice distraction there from the referee.
08:08Jessica Fast Count Carr.
08:10You also didn't hear what Becky was screaming in the ear of Jessica either.
08:13She was whispering.
08:15There's no screaming.
08:16One person was screaming.
08:17And now completely turning this around after the impromptu insertion by the referee is AJ Lee.
08:23AJ with a knee to the face.
08:26And now a foot for the tornado DDT.
08:28Becky center toward the middle of the ring.
08:30AJ, what a collision.
08:31That was nasty catching the jaw of Becky Lynch.
08:34And a collision like that normally does not behoove you to be the lighter competitor like AJ Lee is.
08:40Clearly a diminutive individual.
08:43And that's a shockwaves down the spine of the champ.
08:46And AJ Lee.
08:47So nimble.
08:48So slow.
08:49Sliding underneath and taking Becky off her feet.
08:52Feel like slowly but surely AJ Lee is getting a major foothold in this match after the early abuse that
08:59she took.
09:01AJ.
09:02Missing.
09:03Flap kick.
09:04Connecting.
09:05Going to crawl toward the couple.
09:06Looking to retain her in the continental championship that she won.
09:09Back at the Elimination Chamber event.
09:11And I'll hand it all to AJ Lee.
09:13So impressive since returning.
09:15Completely undefeated since coming back.
09:18The ring rust truly is off.
09:19And she is simply getting better with each matchup.
09:22And that is scary for the rest of the women's division.
09:24And as AJ gets better, Becky becomes more frustrated.
09:27Might be going for that Black Widow there Cole.
09:30And Becky was able to counter.
09:32That's what you got to do in the build up to this matchup.
09:34Work on your counters for that one move on go.
09:38Now Becky Lynch created some space.
09:40AJ back to her feet.
09:42Becky stunned now.
09:43Went for the Shining Wizard.
09:44Becky though able to pick her out of the air.
09:47Stack it up with the champion.
09:49And a kick out.
09:50Body of AJ Lee just bends in the strangest of ways.
09:54Almost like a contortionist.
09:55And clearly Lynch using that to her advantage on a highly tight stacked pin there.
10:02There's over 50,000 here tonight in Las Vegas for WrestleMania Saturday.
10:08Witnessing the Intercontinental Championship match between the champion who's in trouble.
10:12AJ Lee and the former champ, Becky Lynch.
10:15A permanent snarl etched on the face of Becky Lynch here.
10:20Who's got a real number on the champ thus far.
10:22Looking for the manhandle slam.
10:24And AJ Lee turns it into an arm drag.
10:27And a kick now to the back of the neck.
10:29It's that speed, that pace of AJ Lee that really is the difference maker here.
10:34Oh God, oh God.
10:35And Becky Lynch swings her into the second rope.
10:39Great counter by Becky.
10:41And that's what fight camp has been all about for Becky Lynch.
10:44That one move, that's been the problem.
10:46And now the manhandle slam.
10:47Becky Lynch to win the Intercontinental title.
10:50AJ Lee just got the shoulder up.
10:55Is that shock or is that fury in the eyes of Becky Lynch?
11:00Because she thought she had this one.
11:02What an amazing reversal out of that Black Widow there.
11:05The neck of AJ Lee surgically repaired.
11:08Catching that middle rope.
11:09Followed up with this manhandle slam.
11:12And it should have been over.
11:13But the resilience of AJ Lee coming to the fore.
11:17Yeah, just angering Becky Lynch as she sends AJ in the corner.
11:20Now stomping away.
11:21Gotta be careful she doesn't get disqualified here.
11:23Yeah, especially when you never know the referee's count cadence.
11:26Well, she better get out of Jessica Carr's face.
11:29I mean, I respect Carr for letting things go in this match.
11:33Being a championship match.
11:34But she's had enough.
11:39Okay.
11:41Turnabout's fair play.
11:45Can't say Becky didn't deserve that.
11:47Technically, it could have been a disqualification there for Becky Lynch.
11:51And AJ Lee for the manhandle slam of her own.
11:54Cover by AJ.
11:56Sticks her up.
11:57And the kick out at toe.
11:58Nell a second away from victory for the champ AJ Lee.
12:03Thought she had it in the back.
12:04After a major distraction once again.
12:07Becky Lynch not focused on her opponent.
12:09Simply focusing on the referee.
12:12And she went after the official.
12:14Jessica Carr ducked underneath.
12:15And it allowed AJ to strike.
12:18And it really is up for grabs now.
12:21Both women laid out.
12:22Both women have dropped major shots on their opponent.
12:25But their opponent has been equal to it.
12:28But you sense the end is inching closer.
12:31AJ, right hand.
12:33Becky delivers one of her own.
12:36And another.
12:39Slugfest continues.
12:44And then the Slugfest on Beckton.
12:46I'm backing the bigger, more powerful athlete in this case.
12:50Oh!
12:50Black Widow!
12:51Becky Lynch in a slam.
12:53AJ Lee in a Black Widow.
12:54Will Becky Lynch count for a fourth time?
12:58Oh, God.
12:58Getting towards those ropes.
13:00Getting inching, inching closer.
13:02Trying to grab the rope to force a break.
13:03I think she had a handful of hair.
13:06Which caused AJ Lee to slip out of the holes.
13:09And managed to navigate out of there somehow.
13:11Wait a second.
13:12That turnbuckle just fell off in the hands of Becky Lynch.
13:16Well, I don't think anyone's...
13:18Pulling the official in fervor.
13:21And now sending AJ Lee into the exposed steel turnbuckle.
13:26And now a man in a slam.
13:28Jessica Carr has no idea what happened.
13:31And Becky Lynch is a three-time Intercontinental Champion.
13:36Here is your winner, a new women's Intercontinental Champion.
13:44The man, Becky Lynch!
13:51Ha, ha, ha, ha.
13:52While all is well in the world, not only did Becky Lynch thwart the biased refereeing of Jessica Carr.
14:01She finally, finally defeated her kryptonite AJ Lee.
14:07And now is shining with the gold.
14:10Well, this is where it almost went wrong for Becky Lynch.
14:14Get into a shoving match with the official.
14:17Walking a dangerous line here.
14:19Potential disqualification that, to be fair, was let go.
14:22But immediately there, on the offense, was AJ Lee with a manhandled slam of her own.
14:29And a late, late kick out.
14:30But this is pivotal here.
14:32The Black Widow escape.
14:34Apparently pulling the hair of AJ Lee that the referee did not quite catch.
14:39But immediately following that up with some underhanded tactics.
14:43Removing that turnbuckle.
14:45Pulling the ref in the way.
14:47Referee got sandwiched.
14:48As she backed out.
14:50Unbeknownst to the ref.
14:51Head first into the steal.
14:54When AJ Lee and followed up.
14:56One manhandled slam later.
14:58We got a new Intercontinental champ.
15:01And it's them.
15:05Becky Lynch.
15:07Once again.
15:09On top of the world.
15:18I mean AJ Lee obviously disappointed.
15:21But she can't be upset at the way she lost that match.
15:24Only because Becky Lynch exposed the steal.
15:31Yes!
