It’s been nearly three years since WWE Hall of Famer Lita last stepped into the ring, but fans may not have seen the last of her just yet. In a recent interview with the Toronto Sun, the legendary superstar opened up about her past, her health, and whether she’d be willing to return to WWE one more time. And the answer? It’s not a “no.”
Lita Reflects on Her Last WWE Match at WrestleMania 39
Lita last wrestled at WrestleMania 39, teaming with Becky Lynch and fellow Hall of Famer Trish Stratus to defeat Bayley, IYO SKY, and Dakota Kai in a memorable six-woman tag match. Although she’s one of the most iconic women in wrestling history, that was surprisingly only her second appearance at a WrestleMania event in an active wrestling role.
She described the match as giving her a “sense of completion” at the time.
“It was pretty awesome and I feel very satisfied in that, but it was a little weird the way it ended.”
Just one week later, she was written off TV after being attacked backstage by a “mystery assailant.” It was eventually revealed that Trish Stratus was behind the assault, launching a major feud with Becky Lynch. Meanwhile, Lita quietly exited WWE programming, leaving fans confused and unsatisfied with how her comeback wrapped up.
Lita on Possibly Returning to WWE Again
So, is she done for good? According to Lita herself, not necessarily. She says she’s content with what she’s done in her career but still feels the excitement that comes with performing.
“Am I still satisfied with all I’ve accomplished… Absolutely. But, I wouldn’t rule it out if the right opportunity came, because 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.”
That comment alone has sparked fresh rumours about a potential one-off match—or even a short WWE run—in the future.
Health Update: Lita Prioritizing Longevity and Wellness
During the same interview, Lita shared something fans may not have known: she once broke her back during her full-time WWE run, but worked through it. These days, her focus is on staying healthy and active post-retirement.
“I do feel good now and wake up most days feeling awesome and I’m thankful for it every day.”
She credits that to how seriously she’s taken recovery and wellness in her post-wrestling life. That’s part of the reason why a return is even possible—because she’s feeling strong, physically and mentally.
Could Lita Appear at WrestleMania 42 or Beyond?
With WrestleMania 42 just weeks away, WWE is actively building its card—and surprise returns or special appearances by legends are always part of the mix. While there’s no confirmation that Lita is planned for the event, her comments show that the door is open.
Potential dream scenarios include:
- A singles farewell match with one of WWE’s current top women (e.g. Bayley, Rhea Ripley, or Iyo Sky)
- A tag team reunion with Trish Stratus (or rematch against her)
- An appearance in a battle royal or multi-woman tag at WrestleMania
Whatever it may be, Lita’s presence still holds weight in WWE, and fans would welcome her return with open arms.
Final Thoughts: One More Match? Never Say Never
Lita’s legacy is secure, but her story might not be over just yet. With her body in great shape, her passion still alive, and the WWE Universe always hungry for nostalgia mixed with excitement, it’s not out of the question that Lita could have one more match—or even one more run—left in her.
As always in wrestling, the saying holds true: never say never.
