“Bayley tapped out after a few seconds,” reported a ringside observer following the match that took place on March 16, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas. AJ Lee successfully defended her Intercontinental Title against Bayley, showcasing her skills in a match that lasted just 10 minutes. The bout concluded when Bayley succumbed to AJ Lee’s signature Black Widow submission move, solidifying Lee’s dominance in the ring.
The event drew an impressive crowd, with 13,792 tickets distributed in an arena set up for 14,168 spectators. The atmosphere was electric, with fans chanting, “This is awesome!” as the match unfolded. AJ Lee’s victory was not only a personal triumph but also a significant moment in the ongoing storyline leading up to WrestleMania.
However, the excitement was short-lived for AJ Lee. Following her victory, she was ambushed by Becky Lynch, who has been vocal about her disdain for Lee’s recent success. Michael Cole commented on the situation, stating, “Becky is bitter and can’t stand that Lee has proven she has her number and is better than her.” This attack adds another layer to the rivalry between the two wrestlers.
Later in the event, Penta also retained his Intercontinental Title against Dragon Lee, further highlighting the competitive nature of the night. The matches not only entertained the fans but also set the stage for future confrontations and storylines.
As the dust settles from this event, fans are left wondering what the next steps will be for AJ Lee and her rivals.
