Lita was a recent guest at a Monopoly Events Q&A session in NorthernIreland, alongside fellow Hall of Famer Trish Stratus, where she was asked by a fan which current WWE star she would like to face. The former TeamXtreme member stated that she would like to go one-on-one withRhea Ripley, praising the Australian star's growth as a performer in recent years.
"I think somebody that I had a very brief interaction with in the Royal Rumble, Rhea Ripley, has just grown so much and added so many layers to her character, and I think she would be great to face," said Lita.
Ripley has spoken glowingly about Lita in the past, calling her a wonderful human and a star that she would love to face someday, even requesting WWE to make the match happen. Lita had previously stated that a match with Ripley would push her beyond her comfort zone in the ring, which she feels would be a great test of her ability.
