Lita comments on why she is competing in Saudi Arabia after being outspoken in the past

Back in 2018, WWE Hall of Fame Lita said the following during WrestleZone Radio in regards to WWE doing shows in Saudi Arabia…

“I understand that they are a business, a global business and they are always looking to expand their global presence. However, I do feel this was a direct conflict of interest with them maintaining any integrity or truth to the fact that they say they would like to push forward women, their roles and their reputations in this business as anything resembling equal to a male.”

During an interview with the Ring The Belle, Lita commented on making a decision to compete at the Elimination Chamber PLE in Saudi Arabia against Becky Lynch…

“So I will say I was outspoken on the early relationship between WWE and Saudi. ‘Oh, they say they want women to wrestle over there but like, I don’t know if I believe it. There’s no women on this card.’ There’s women on the card and I’ve talked to the women personally that have been over there and they’re like, ‘It’s unbelievable.’ There are women crying, never thinking they would get to see two women be so strong in the ring. They’re like, ‘It’s really powerful. You’re gonna enjoy that’ and so, sure, do they have a long way to go? Do we as a society have a long way to go? Absolutely, but you’ve gotta take the opportunities when they’re there.” (quotes courtesy of PostWrestling.com)
