Upon arriving at the ring, Lita explained why she chose to return now, and that too, at Royal Rumble 2022. The Hall of Famer revealed that while she had quite a few multiple highlights (being champion, main-eventing Raw with Trish Stratus), she had never been a part of Royal Rumble since women didn’t have their own match back in the day.

Charlotte Flair revealed her plan for Lita at Royal Rumble – throw her over the top rope, win the match, and not pick Lita as her WrestleMania opponent. However, The Queen wanted to know how The Legend would ever deal with the humiliation.
