Lee returns at ringside during Lynch’s championship defense
Summary
– AJ Lee makes a surprise return during Becky Lynch’s title match
– Maxxine Dupri captures the Women’s IC Championship after the distraction
– Tension escalates between Lynch and Lee following their WrestlePalooza encounter
WWE RAW delivered a major surprise on November 17 as Madison Square Garden hosted a sold out crowd. Becky Lynch entered the night defending the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri. The atmosphere inside the arena built quickly thanks to Alicia Taylor’s introductions and the overall feel of a marquee matchup.
Lynch maintained steady control throughout the contest and consistently applied pressure to her challenger. Dupri responded with determination and earned a near fall that drew a strong reaction from the crowd. Lynch answered with her own near fall moments later and showed visible frustration as she confronted referee Jessika Carr. She then sent Dupri outside and demanded a count once the action spilled onto the floor.
The turning point arrived when AJ Lee made a sudden return and appeared at ringside. Her presence pulled Lynch’s attention away from the match. Dupri capitalized by leaping from the top rope and connecting with a crossbody that transitioned directly into a successful pin. The victory crowned Maxxine Dupri as the new Women’s Intercontinental Champion and stunned the audience watching live in MSG.
AJ Lee’s involvement marked the latest escalation in her issues with Becky Lynch. Their mixed tag match at WrestlePalooza ended with Lynch tapping out to Lee. That result fueled ongoing tension between the two. Lee’s return on RAW signals that the rivalry is far from settled, and the confrontation adds another high-profile wrinkle to the Women’s division.
