Lita Reveals What Really Cut Her WWE Comeback Short After a “Perfect” Return
WWE Hall of Famer Lita has finally addressed the abrupt ending to her latest WWE run—and according to her, the way it wrapped up was just as surprising for her as it was for fans.
Speaking with The Toronto Sun, Lita looked back on her 2023 comeback, a run that reunited her with Becky Lynch and longtime rival Trish Stratus. From the inside, everything felt like it was lining up for a storybook ending. The matches were clicking, the crowd reactions were strong, and she felt more fulfilled than she had in years.
Lita admitted that getting a long-awaited singles match with Becky Lynch was a major personal highlight. Teaming with Lynch and Stratus against Damage CTRL also meant a lot to her, giving her a sense of purpose that went beyond a simple nostalgia appearance. For Lita, it felt like a meaningful extension of her legacy rather than a quick cameo.
That momentum carried all the way through WrestleMania. In her mind, the story had reached a natural high point—one that felt celebratory and complete.
Then everything changed.
Lita revealed that shortly after WrestleMania, she was informed that her on-screen role was essentially over. The shift from being a featured part of WWE programming to suddenly vanishing happened fast, with little explanation. While she didn’t criticize the company, she admitted the sudden silence left the ending feeling incomplete.
Despite the unexpected exit, Lita made it clear she isn’t holding onto any resentment. She remains proud of her career and thankful for the chance to return when she did, even if the goodbye wasn’t as clear-cut as she imagined.
Perhaps most interestingly, Lita didn’t close the door on WWE entirely. She said she feels physically strong and would consider another return if the right opportunity presents itself. With the current depth of WWE’s women’s division, the idea still excites her.
For now, Lita’s WWE chapter is on pause—but her latest comments suggest the final page may not have been written yet.
