“We are very kindred spirits “- When Lita recounted her desire to face Becky Lynch
Lita has drawn several similarities between herself and Becky Lynch
Lita aka Amy Dumas is a WWE Hall of Famer. She’s a 4-time Women’s Champion and one of the greatest female athletes to ever step foot in a wrestling ring. She and Trish Stratus were two of the cornerstones of women’s wrestling who created a special place for more women to step up and face the challenges of being a professional wrestler. Trish and Lita main-evented the December 6, 2004 episode of Monday Night Raw making this to be the 1st ever women’s main-event for the WWE’s flagship show.
Lita recently faced “Big Time Becks” Lynch in an ultimate dream match earlier this year at the Elimination Chamber premium-live-event for the Raw Women’s Championship. Before their highly anticipated matchup, Lita sat down in an interview with Ring the Belle,
“I think this match is like a true generational clashing match because we are very kindred spirits,” said Lita. “She lives like a pirate, kind of took a very meandering journey to get to her spot in WWE. Same thing [for me] so I kind of cut from the same cloth. I saw a lot of her in me, as she was starting as I first just met her. And then to be at home and watch her catch fire. I was like, “girl.” Not only did I know she had it, but also I was like, “let me in there.”
Lita mainly highlighted the career similarities between her and Becky Lynch during the interview with a bold statement that she sees a lot of her in Becky, which was a really big remark for Becky in particular.

Billboards were put up on the streets of Jeddah was a really proud moment for Becky and Lita as well as for the entire women’s wrestling being promoted so much openly in Saudi Arabia was heart-touching. At the event, Becky somehow managed to overcome the trailblazer Lita in a great wrestling match appreciated by the WWE Universe to a great extent.
