WWE Hall of Famer Lita has been a pioneer in women’s wrestling in the pro-wrestling industry. Lita, alongside Trish Stratus, elevated the level of women in the industry.
Before Lita, the females in WWE were treated as escorts, managers, or were involved in bizarre ‘bikini matches’. However, the Hall of Famer changed all of that.

Lita, eventually, made her WWE comeback on this week’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown and the WWE Universe just lost their minds. Honestly, no one ever thought that the legendary female superstar would be back inside the squared circle.
However, the former WWE Women’s champion is not back for a few exhibition matches. Last night on SmackDown, Lita confessed that she has one ‘last run’ remaining in her career.
The fans were ecstatic after seeing Lita back in WWE
After Lita retired from pro-wrestling in 2006, fans remained curious about the former champion’s return. However, after making some sporadic appearances for Vince McMahon, Lita is back to give the fans what they were missing – a proper ending to her wrestling journey.
