Lita Talks About Potential Retirement Match
Lita has commented on retirement from WWE
Lita recently returned to a WWE ring in 2023, firstly teaming up with Becky Lynch to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles before going on to WrestleMania 39 to also team up with Trish Stratus to fight the Damage CTRL trio.
Before she could defend her belts with Lynch, her friend Stratus attacked her backstage prior to a heel turn later in the night. Lita has not been seen on WWE programming since with no signs of a comeback any time soon. Lita was asked about a potential WWE retirement match in an interview with Graham GSM Matthews;
“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.”
Lita was then asked about a match with the SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, to which she responded positively,
"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.”
Even with these comments and with her recent (albeit brief) return to competition, it isn’t known whether Lita will have another match.
