Lita called time on her WWE career in November 2006 following a match against Mickie James at Survivor Series.

Speaking to Colt Cabana on the 'Art of Wrestling' podcast in 2012, the four-time Women's champion explained that she left WWE because she felt she had done everything there was to do as a woman in the wrestling business.

She has since made sporadic wrestling appearances, including at a Raw show against Heath Slater in the build-up to Raw 1000 and at an MCW event in March 2017, but her competitive WWE return came over 11 years after her retirement when she entered the first-ever women's Royal Rumble in January 2018.

The Hall of Famer entered at #5 and eliminated Mandy Rose and Tamina before being thrown over the top rope by Becky Lynch.

She is currently preparing for another return match on October 28 at WWE Evolution, where she will team with Trish Stratus to face Mickie James & Alexa Bliss.
