Hall Of Famer Wants “More Interplay Between Genders” In WWE

Dominik Mysterio Rhea Ripley in WWE

A WWE legend wants to see the company blur the lines.

For several years, WWE has typically shied away from presenting intergender wrestling, preferring to keep the men’s and women’s divisions separate. Although mixed tag team matches have continued to be a regular occurrence, men and women are unable to wrestle each other.

However, more recently Rhea Ripley has continued to clash with Dominik Mysterio, and admitted she wants a singles match with her rival.

During a panel at Comic-Con Northern Ireland 2024 (via Monopoly Events), WWE legend Lita was asked how she would change the women’s division.

“Another thing that I would love to see, I do feel as though now the women do have pretty great representation on the show. There can be almost half of the show with women. There’s not just the women’s match, there can be multiple matches throughout the night.

But what I would love to see is more interplay between the genders and have those lines be blurred further, where titles don’t have to men’s or women’s titles, just titles, and whoever manages to get someday’s shoulders down for three seconds is the champion, or whoever taps somebody out is the champion for that night,”

WWE Legend Hints At Return

At the same event, Trish Stratus was asked who she’d like to face if she returned to the ring. The star said it would be interesting to face Tiffany Stratton, adding to the growing list of hints that she could return to face the star which began at Money In The Bank.

“Becky Lynch. Oh wait, we did that already. From the current landscape, you’re saying? What time is it? Is it Tiffy Time? I mean, she’s a little bit arrogant, and I think it’d be interesting to show her what it’s all about from someone back in the day. Maybe Tiffany Stratton.”

Stratus hasn’t wrestled since being defeated by Becky Lynch at Payback 2023.
