Lita says that she is not opposed to making a return to the ring for WWE if the right chance to do so comes about. The WWE Hall of Famer has had a couple returns to the company since she retired from full-time competition, most recently when she and Becky Lynch won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in early 2023. They lost the titles when Trish Stratus secretly attacked her backstage and then teamed with Lynch but lost to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
Lita spoke with The Toronto Sun for a new interview and was asked about a potential return to the ring in WWE and more. Lita said that she is happy with what she’s done but would potentially be open to it in the right circumstances. She also spoke about her health following her career; you can check out the highlights below:
On If She’d Be Interested In Another WWE Run:
“Well, I will say like I don’t — I feel complete. Like, I was really happy to have the singles match with Becky and then to be able to get in there with Trish and Becky, and go against Damage CTRL. It was pretty awesome and I feel very satisfied in that. But it was a little weird the way it ended, where you know I had this really fun celebratory match at WrestleMania. And the next thing I know, they’re like, ‘Oh by the way, you’re just going to be laying on the ground and we don’t need you anymore.’ And I was like, “Oh, o-okay!”
“And so it felt complete, and then it didn’t just the the way things kind of ended. Am I still satisfied with all I’ve accomplished, and even just the stuff I’ve been able to do post full-time run? Absolutely. But yeah, I wouldn’t rule it out if the right opportunity came. Because yeah, I still feel really good and there’s so much talent out there. It’s always fun to mix it up with the current roster.”
On How Her Health Is Following Her Career:
“I had times when it was really bothering me. I mean, even while I was actively competing, I remember my lower back. I went in because it was bothering me and the doctor said, ‘Well, when did you break your back?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know.’ And they’re like, ‘Yeah, I’m seeing here on the X-ray. You’ve broken your back.’ So at some point, I had broken my back and just kept going, and that might have been why it was was hurting me.
“And I had some issues with that, but I’ve really prioritized feeling good and having my body feel good in my post full-time career. Because I do see so many of my former co-workers and other legends, and it just reminds me every day like what I put my body through. But I will say like gosh, the regenerative power that your body does have. But you know, you you do have to give it the opportunity to heal, which I have, and just really prioritize. And I’m so thankful that I do feel good now, and wake up most days feeling awesome. I’m thankful for it every day.”
