Lita vs. Becky Lynch at WWE Elimination Chamber will be a clash of two generations
The Extreme Diva and the RAW Women's Champion will square off against each other for the first time next Saturday, with the coveted title on the line. If Lynch loses, her dreams of heading into WrestleMania as champion will come to an end.
During a recent interview, Lita stated that facing Big Time Becks is special to her, as it will be a fight between the past and the present.
"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.”
