Lita Feels Like She’s On ‘Bonus Time,’ Would Love To Work With Rhea Ripley
Lita had not wrestled since 2018 when she returned to the ring at the 2022 Royal Rumble.
Lita’s cameo appearance in the women’s royal rumble led to a match between her and Becky Lynch at WWE Elimination Chamber 2022. She has since teamed with Lynch to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles and competed at WrestleMania 39.
Speaking to Graham GSM Matthews of Bleacher Report, Lita was asked if she would have a proper retirement match.
“I really felt that my match with Becky in Saudi Arabia felt like a really nice retirement match that I did not anticipate having that opportunity. I felt really satisfied with the whole full circle moment of that, paving the way for women on the front end in the United States, going to when the relationship was established in Saudi Arabia, women weren’t allowed to come to the matches and then there were no women performing to a featured match where Becky and I were all over billboards all over the kingdom. It felt really poetic and I felt happy with that match. I feel good with that. This just feel like bonus time,” she said.
When a potential match with Rhea Ripley was brought up, Lita noted that she heard Rhea mention her as a potential opponent and would like for the title to be on the line.
“She’s an incredible talent. I would love to work with her because it would really push me. It would push me beyond my comfort zone and I feel like I’ve been satisfied with what I’ve done in this chapter, but I would love to see how far I could take it,” she said.
Lita was attacked by Trish Stratus on the April 10 episode of WWE Raw. Trish would cement her status as a heel by attacking Lynch after losing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles to Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez.
Trish confirmed she was the one who attacked Lita on the April 17 episode of WWE Raw.
It is unknown if or when Lita will return to the ring.
