Lita on her last WWE run: ‘It was a little weird the way it ended’
WWE Hall of Famer Lita commented on how her last WWE run ended during a recent interview.
Lita’s final match with the company took place at WrestleMania 39 in 2023, where she teamed with Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch in a win over Damage CTRL. On the April 10, 2023 episode of Raw, Lita was shown having been attacked backstage and was replaced by Stratus in a Women’s Tag Team Championship defense against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodríguez. She has not appeared on WWE programming since.
During an interview with The Toronto Sun, Lita did not rule out another return to the ring and said her last run ended in a strange fashion.
Lita said:
“It was a little weird the way it ended. I had this really fun, celebratory match at WrestleMania, and then the next thing I know they’re like, ‘Oh, by the way, you’re just going to be laying on the ground and we don’t need you anymore.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, okay.’“
“It felt complete, and then it didn’t, just the way things kind of ended.“
“Am I still satisfied with all I’ve accomplished, and even the stuff I’ve been able to do post full-time run? Absolutely. But yeah, I wouldn’t rule it out if the right opportunity came because I still feel really good, and there’s so much talent out there. It’s always fun to mix it up with the current roster.”
Since her initial retirement in 2006, Lita has wrestled eight times on WWE programming, including a match against Heath Slater in 2012, Royal Rumble 2018, the October 29, 2018 Raw, WWE Evolution in 2018, Royal Rumble 2022, Elimination Chamber 2022, winning the tag titles with Lynch on the February 27, 2023 Raw, and WrestleMania 39.
