Becky Lynch has fired back at AJ Lee ahead of their collision at Survivor Series: WarGames, dismissing any notion that fans are happy to see the former Divas Champion back in WWE.
Speaking with Michael Cole before tonight’s premium live event, Lynch made her feelings about Lee’s return crystal clear.

The rivalry between Lynch and Lee has intensified since AJ’s surprise return on Raw, which directly led to Becky losing her Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Maxxine Dupri. Lynch has pointed to Lee’s interference as evidence of corruption, specifically targeting AJ’s lack of proper credentials.

Their mixed tag loss at Wrestlepalooza, where Lynch and Seth Rollins fell to AJ Lee and CM Punk, has only added fuel to this simmering rivalry heading into tonight’s WarGames showdown.
