The Machete Girl, Lita, appeared on last week’s edition of Monday Night Raw. WWE plans to put Lita against Becky Lynch and it was a last-minute decision. The Hall of Famer herself was not aware of the plans until a day before the title match was made for Elimination Chamber.

Lita borrowed clothes from Renee Young

Ahead of her match, Lita sat down with Ring The Belle and mentioned that after St. Louis, she was supposed to go home. However, WWE’s decision was on short notice, and Lita noted she had to reach out to a friend for her appearance on Raw. During the interview, she mentioned she borrowed clothes from AEW Star Jon Moxley’s wife, Renee Paquette.

She revealed, “Renee Young [Paquette] lives in Cincinnati. These [clothes from WWE Raw after Royal Rumble] are her clothes because that is how little time I had to prepare. They [WWE] are like, ‘Can you come?’ So yeah, after St. Louis, I was supposed to go home. And on Sunday, I drove to Cincinnati and swung by Renee’s house, and I’m like, ‘Girl, what can I wear?'”
