Lita: I’m rooting for Rhea Ripley, Charlotte has earned her shot, but she was also presented with a spot because of her lineage

During her interview with Alfred Konuwa at Forbes, Lita was asked about the Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Dave Meltzer reported last week that this is the current planned match to headline the first night at WrestleMania.

“Charlotte’s natural role is to be a heel, right? Because it’s like that overconfident vibe,” said Lita. “I almost wonder if Rhea is going to bring that out of Charlotte because you can only get shown up with confidence so much before Charlotte puts it back in your face.”

Lita continued, “I know she is the heel in this match, but I’m rooting for [Rhea Ripley] because Charlotte has earned her shot, but she was also presented with a spot because of her lineage, and has just stepped up and continues to rise to the occasion. Whereas I do feel like Rhea created her spot, and she’s just getting started, but it has culminated in this high-profile match at WrestleMania.”
