WWE Hall of Famer Lita was a recent guest on Chris Van Vliet’s “Insight” podcast and commented on being offered a spot in the 2018 WWE Women’s Royal Rumble match on just 24 hours notice. Of course, Lita faced off against Becky Lynch at this year’s WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event. She said,
“So, I mean.. the Rumble is fun. Undeniable. Watching it and being in it. I did the first one, it was monumental. It was historic. I had to be part of it…but I was asked 24 hours in advance. I had not been training. I had to take a red eye, spending all day in medical getting cleared.
“The first time I touched a ring since the last time whenever you guys saw me touch a ring was the first time I touched a ring. So, I was nervous in all the wrong ways. I was still glad I did it, there was only gonna be one first [women’s] rumble. I was still happy to see all the women and I ultimately had a good time in my experience [but] when they called me this year I was like ‘Yeah, I want a redo.’ I had a proper heads up and I had been training and my motivation was that it’s fun, I get to see my girlfriends and this time I wanna feel good nervous going into it.”
