Lita is slated to challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE RAW Women’s Title at the upcoming Elimination Chamber event.
The WWE Hall Of Famer worked the Women’s Royal Rumble match and then threw out the challenge after praising the champ on the post-Rumble edition of Raw.
Lita stated in 2018 while on WrestleZone Radio that WWE should make their money from Saudi shows, but not do it by discussing the desire to help progress the culture in Saudi Arabia as they have pushed women’s wrestling forward.
Lita talked about her comments when she sat down with D.S. Shin of Ring The Belle.
“So I will say I was outspoken on the early relationship between WWE and Saudi. ‘Oh, they say they want women to wrestle over there but like, I don’t know if I believe it. There’s no women on this card.’ There’s women on the card and I’ve talked to the women personally that have been over there and they’re like, ‘It’s unbelievable.’ There are women crying, never thinking they would get to see two women be so strong in the ring. They’re like, ‘It’s really powerful. You’re gonna enjoy that’ and so, sure, do they have a long way to go? Do we as a society have a long way to go? Absolutely, but you’ve gotta take the opportunities when they’re there.”
