With the road to WWE WrestleMania 42 underway, it remains to be seen who will face AJ Lee for the Intercontinental Championship in Las Vegas.
From the announced competitors in an upcoming gauntlet match to determine the number one contender to some surprises that could arrive after the fact, there are some intriguing possibilities.
Here are five potential opponents for AJ Lee at WWE WrestleMania 42.
5. Bayley
After missing out on WWE WrestleMania 41, Bayley has continued to find her place on the roster in the year that followed.
While she continues to be featured on TV, Bayley has yet to have a substantive title opportunity, which could change if she were to begin a feud with AJ Lee.
Certainly one of the most interesting options available, Bayley could use the opportunity to reinvent her character in a way that makes sense for the storyline and the future.
With fans still clearly in support of the veteran, it could be a fun juxtaposition to see two very distinct big names from different eras do battle at WrestleMania 42.
