Following her return to WWE on Friday Night SmackDown, Lita appeared on Talking Smack and talked about the moment.

"It was a blast. Honestly, I know it's been forever since I've been on SmackDown but it felt like I was home. It was just nice to hear my music hit, get out there, and be in front of the fans again. A little nice precursor, a no-stress precursor to Royal Rumble where the pressure is on."

Lita spoke about why this year's Rumble means the most to her.

"Alright, so this one means a lot to me because this is the easiest, although it is extremely difficult, way to guarantee yourself a title shot at WrestleMania. I just decided to make so goals for 2022 and it involves heading to WrestleMania, so I am going to stay low so I don't get thrown over the top rope and take out as many people as I can."
