Lita never shied away from taking risks inside the squared circle, even if she got hurt in the process.

The WWE Hall of Famer made her in-ring return at the 2022 Royal Rumble and this Saturday she will battle Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship.

Ahead of this Saturday's Elimination Chamber premium live event, Lita sat down with Alistair McGeorge of Metro.co.uk to discuss all things WWE. While talking about her risk-taking nature inside the ring, Lita revealed the one time Eddie Guerrero recommended against doing a certain spot in a match.

"There’s one time. I wanted Eddie Guerrero to powerbomb me," Lita began. "I wanted to jump off the top turnbuckle like I was going to give him a hurricarana to the floor, and he was gonna catch me and powerbomb me. He was like, 'No way, that’s gonna hurt you so bad! I don’t wanna do that to you, it’s gonna hurt you.' I was like, 'No, no, no, it’s gonna be awesome, that’s what I wanna do!' He was so adamant about not doing it, and I was do adamant about doing it – and it hurt me! I landed on the ground like, 'He was right…'"

The WWE Hall of Famer also spoke on being able to mix it up with the guys inside the ring. Earlier in her career, this was unique at the time because Chyna was one of the only other women to compete against male competitors.

"Definitely my career, from being with Team Xtreme and mixing it up with the guys, was something that was so unique at the time. The only person we’d seen do that before was Chyna," she said. "But Chyna was so huge and powerful and it made sense for her to be going toe to toe with guys, the way I did was a bit more like cat and mouse, and using my body as a weapon, throwing myself around from different angles, just being quicker and getting out of the way. It was a unique way to be able to be smaller and still feminine but being able to mix it up with the guys as well."
