Lita recently spoke with D.S. Shinn of Ring The Belle, where she spoke about her previous criticisms of WWE going to Saudi Arabia.

“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.”

Lita will head to Saudi Arabia to challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE RAW Women's Championship on February 19th at Elimination Chamber.
