Lita and Becky Lynch met face-to-face in the ring on this week’s Monday Night Raw to build towards their Raw Women’s Championship match at Elimination Chamber on Feb. 19. Lita kicked things off by explaining why she called out “Big Time Becks” to a title match last week, prompting Lynch to come out and cut her own promo. She explained why Lita met so much to her both as a teenager and when she first broke into the WWE, then said it hurt how she was now trying to take all of that away.

“Without Lita, there would be no Becky Lynch. But now that there is a Becky Lynch, there can be no Lita,” Lynch said. As the champ started to leave the ring she dropped her title and started attacking Lita, eventually getting the best of the exchange. She then went back to attempt a Manhandle Slam only for the WWE Hall of Famer to nail a Twist of Fate and a Moonsault. The commentary team was quick to point out that if Lita nails that combination at Elimination Chamber she will become a five-time Women’s Champion
