Lita on what excites her the most about Elimination Chamber taking place in Saudi Arabia
The Extreme Diva has never competed in a match in Saudi Arabia before. Her bout with Becky Lynch will be her first. This will also be her first singles match in over a decade.
Lita opened up about what excites her the most about the premium live event taking place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
"Everything. The cultural advancements. Becky and I are on a billboard in Saudi Arabia, the first time that’s ever happened. And I don’t look at this as a chance to play my greatest hits. I’ve been working on new moves and new counters. I look at this as a progression. I’m taking what I know and I’ve added the grounded distance I have as a positive. I’m back with a fresh perspective and I’m focusing on the good. We’re looking to deliver and really put on a hell of a match," she cotinued.
I am honored my match at #WWEChamber with @BeckyLynchWWE will be something special across generations … but especially for young women everywhere. https://t.co/im8FMOZ5fT
