Current WWE star almost got seriously injured after a major botch from Trish Stratus
WWE Hall of Famer Lita miraculously escaped injury following a botch from Trish Stratus during their Monday Night RAW main event match in 2004.
Lita and Stratus had one of the most historic rivalries in the company. The two ladies squared off several times during their runs as full-time in-ring competitors. In December 2004, Lita and Stratus had one of their most memorable matches when they went head-to-head for the Women's Championship in the main event of RAW. The bout, however, saw Lita land awkwardly after attempting a suicide dive. While many thought she had injured herself badly, the Hall of Famer luckily escaped that fate.
During the latest episode of WWE Rivals, Lita opened up about the scary spot, revealing that a botch from Stratus led to her awkward landing.
"Trish kind of started absorbing the impact before I fully collided with her, kind of giving me nothing to dive into except the ground," she said.
