Along with Trish Stratus, Chyna and Lita were arguably the biggest stars in WWE's women's division during the Attitude Era, so it may come as a surprise to learn that they only had one singles match at 2001's Judgement Day PPV. As it turns out, the original plan was for at least two more bouts.
Lita, aka Amy Dumas, was a guest on the latest episode of After The Bell with Corey Graves, and she discussed her match with the late 9th Wonder of the World. Apparently, both Superstars held back a little because they thought they were going to get the opportunity to tear the house down later on.
“When Chyna was transitioning from working only men to starting to work with women, she first went to Ivory and Right to Censor into a program with me, and we had one PPV match together. It was supposed to be a three PPV program. It was solid. It was OK, but we wanted to give people just enough to go, ‘oh, there’s something here. We want to see more,’ and we held back thinking we were gonna have two more matches, but that was the end of her time at WWE. So we didn’t get our program.
I’ve been told this advice before: Any opportunity you have, act like it’s your last match ever. Had I done that, we would have had a much more memorable match.”
The match in question is certainly not bad, but looking back it does seem like Lita, in particular, is going through the motions a bit. Chyna was never known for being the best "worker," but she was certainly capable of putting on a better performance.
It's a shame we never got to see those follow-up matches, but there's always a chance Lita will return to the ring again after teaming with Trish Tratus at the Evolution PPV in 2018.
