On the latest edition of SmackDown, WWE Hall of Famer Lita returned to the blue brand after 20 long years and received a huge ovation from fans.

The former four-time Women's Champion will be part of the upcoming Women's Royal Rumble Match at the namesake pay-per-view on January 29, 2022.

Lita, during her in-ring segment on the blue brand, made a truly heartening statement by saying she is ready for another WWE run. The statement wasn't taken too kindly by SmackDown Women's Champion and fellow Royal Rumble competitor Charlotte Flair, who interrupted the Hall of Famer.

After a heated verbal exchange between the two, Lita first pretended to slap The Queen and nailed the champion with a devastating Twist of Fate. The rivalry is brewing between the two competitors, and one would hope Lita can win the Rumble and headline WrestleMania 38 to challenge Charlotte for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Speaking of championships, another title that has eluded the Hall of Famer in her illustrious career is the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. By the time this championship came into existence in 2019, Lita was not an active in-ring competitor. Now that she wants another WWE run, the former four-time women's champion can look to win this championship.

In this article, we look at five superstars who could team up with Lita to win the tag team titles:


#5. Former WWE RAW Women's Champion – Rhea Ripley

Things haven't been great of late for former RAW Women's Champion and Women's Tag Team Champion Rhea Ripley.

The Nightmare lost her Women's Tag Team Championship to the team of Queen Zelina and Carmella late last year. On the latest edition of RAW, her tag team partner Nikki A.S.H. also turned on Rhea, attacking her in the process.

To get things back on track for Ripley, what could be better than teaming up with Hall of Famer Lita to pursue the tag team titles again?

This team will undoubtedly be as formidable as they come. If they beat the reigning champions in Queen Zelina and Carmella, it will certainly be a moment to treasure for fans.

#4. WWE Superstar – Liv Morgan

WWE Superstar Liv Morgan, in a recent interview on The Bump, spoke about how she has been a fan of Lita growing up. Morgan said:

"I loved Lita. I've said this a bunch too, you know, she reminded me of myself. I saw her and I was like I could be her friend. So that's something that I strive to give to people watching me. They should see me and think like I'm one of them. I could be their friend."

If given the opportunity, Morgan would love to team up with Lita and challenge for the Women's Tag Team Titles. Their team will undoubtedly be strong with Liv bringing in her tag team experience as part of the Riott Squad earlier.


#3. Former Two-Time SmackDown Women's Champion – Naomi

Despite being a former two-time SmackDown Women's Champion, a title that has eluded Naomi is the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

Since there are no separate Women's Tag Team Titles for RAW and SmackDown, Naomi, despite being a blue brand superstar, can team up with Lita to challenge for the tag team gold which is primarily contested on the red brand.

This contest pinning Lita and Naomi against Queen Zelina and Carmella will be one for the ages as a perfect match of strength and athleticism.

#2. WWE Royal Rumble Winner – Bianca Belair

A team comprising of Bianca Belair and Lita would showcase one of the best performers currently in WWE and a true great of the past who is still very relevant.

This tag team will soar to great heights in the promotion with the brute strength of Bianca and the high-flying moves of Lita. Belair, having lost the opportunity to challenge for the RAW Women's Championship on the latest edition of the red brand, could look to go for another title.

A contest with reigning champions Vega and Carmella would be a spectacle the WWE Universe would cherish for a lifetime.


#1. Former Two-Time Women's Champion – Alexa Bliss

Seeing Alexa Bliss and Lita team up will be a dream come true not only for me but for a host of fans around the world.

Alexa recently teased on Twitter that she will return to RAW with the same gimmick that she was using before her hiatus:

"Dear Monday Night RAW, Starting tonight… she’s officially YOUR problem now. Good luck. @WWE" wrote Bliss in her tweet.

When Alexa does return to RAW, it will truly be a momentous occasion. One could also expect her to show up as a surprise participant in the Women's Royal Rumble Match.

With that being said, if Alexa and Lita can team up on the red brand to go after the Women's Tag Team titles, it will be special. If their team can dethrone the existing champions for the gold, Bliss would soar to her third reign as tag team champion, and Lita would accomplish her maiden feat.
