Lita's match against Becky Lynch at WWE Elimination Chamber was a last minute decision.
Lita was an entrant in the women's Royal Rumble on Saturday, January 29, and was ready to head back home. By the end of Monday, January 31, she had a Raw Women's Championship match scheduled for WWE Elimination Chamber.
"After St. Louis, I was supposed to go home. On Sunday, I drove to Cincinnati, swung by Renee [Paquette's] house and was like, 'girl, what can I wear?' Johnny Ace asked me, 'Do you want to fight Becky?' You know that I do and you know that she does. 'How about in two weeks?' 'Uhhh, no, but yes,' not only because I want to train and have a go, but seize the moment and take the opportunity when it's there. Sort it all out in the wash," Lita said when discussing how quickly the match came together an interview with Ring The Belle.
Lynch has referred to Lita as her hero growing up and Lita explained why this match is so important for both women.
"This match is a true generational clashing match. We are very kindred spirits. She live like a pirate, took a meandering journey to get to her spot in WWE. We cut from the same cloth. I saw a lot of her in me as she was starting. To watch her catch fire, I was like, "Girlll,' Not only did I know that she had it, but I was like, 'let me in there," she said.
