Lita returned to WWE SmackDown after nearly two decades. Huge chants broke out as she joined Michael Cole in the ring for a promo.

Lita said she wanted to compete in the WWE Women's Royal Rumble this year as she believed she had one final run left in her. She wanted to win the Royal Rumble and headline WrestleMania.

Lita was soon interrupted by the blue band's Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair. The Queen reminded her that she beat her friend Trish Stratus at SummerSlam 2019 and effectively retired her.

Lita threw a "giant head" jab that was quickly picked up by the fans, who turned it into a chant. She faked a slap before hitting Flair with the Twist of Fate to end the segment.

WWE did well with the segment ahead of the Royal Rumble. There aren't too many favorites to win this year's 30 women match, and Lita could well win it and challenge Flair for the title.
