Lita who is a former four times WWE Women’s champion recently spoke to Adrian Hernandez of Bet Las Vegas where she talked about making history on Monday night RAW back in 2004 along with his real life best friend Trish Stratus who is also a legend of professional wrestling. She said;
“All day, I kept going, ‘they’re going to change it, they’re going to change it. They’re saying we’re in the main event, but they’re going to change it so don’t get too excited.’ Being able to go out there, I was just so glad that it didn’t change and we got to go out there. When we closed the show, I felt, ‘I think we did okay.’
“Then I go through the curtain and my locker room, my friends, co-workers, producers are clapping for us. Honestly, that part of it is one of the huge reasons that match means so much to me. It’s for just what we did out in the ring, it was the fact that the office trusted us in that spot.
“The fact that our co-workers acknowledged that we deserved that spot. That’s the part…it felt good before, but it was like, ‘I’m a wrestler. I’m not playing wrestling or doing moves. I’m in the club.’ It was that moment where I was like, ‘these are my people.”
