“I had some concerns” - Lita on preparing for her first singles match in 16 years
WWE Hall of Famer Lita recently opened up about her upcoming match with Becky Lynch, stating she's pretty confident of her chances against The Man.
Lita will return to singles action for the first time in almost 16 years and will face Big Time Becks for the RAW Women's Championship at Elimination Chamber. The four-time Women's Champion's last singles match came in 2006, where she lost the WWE Women's Title against Mickie James.
Speaking about her big return on WWE The Bump, The Hall of Famer revealed that she had no concerns prior to the match and believes she can walk out as the champion come Elimination Chamber.
"I think that concern left once I shifted gears from training for the Royal Rumble and started training for this. Once I accepted the match and decided to go for it, you can't think about the concerns and the what-ifs. I had some concerns but at this point it's too late for those concerns. You know, you just get out there, you have confidence in yourself. And I believe I can walk out the champion because if I didn't, I wouldn't take the match, right?"- Lita said. [1:00:24 to 1:00:55]
