Lita Felt Like She Was In The Wrestlers Club After Main Eventing With Trish Stratus

On the December 6, 2004 episode, Lita and Trish Stratus made history by becoming the first women to main event an episode of WWE Raw. 

Lita was victorious in the bout, finishing off Stratus with her trademark moonsault, winning the WWE Women’s Championship with the win. 

Speaking to Adrian Hernandez of Bet Las Vegas, Lita gave the backstage reaction to the match once she and Trish got back through the curtain. 

“All day, I kept going, ‘they’re going to change it, they’re going to change it. They’re saying we’re in the main event, but they’re going to change it so don’t get too excited.’ Being able to go out there, I was just so glad that it didn’t change and we got to go out there. When we closed the show, I felt, ‘I think we did okay.’ Then I go through the curtain and my locker room, my friends, co-workers, producers are clapping for us. Honestly, that part of it is one of the huge reasons that match means so much to me. It’s for just what we did out in the ring, it was the fact that the office trusted us in that spot. The fact that our co-workers acknowledged that we deserved that spot. That’s the part…it felt good before, but it was like, ‘I’m a wrestler. I’m not playing wrestling or doing moves. I’m in the club.’ It was that moment where I was like, ‘these are my people,'” she recalled.

Lita and Trish were on-screen rivals for most of their career, but off-screen best friends. 

Lita, who is now one-half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside Becky Lynch, will team with Trish & Lynch at WrestleMania 39 against Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai, IYO SKY, & Bayley). Fans can check out the lineup for WrestleMania 39 by clicking here.
