Lita’s New Role Keeps Her in Front of WWE Audiences

Amy Dumas has worked only one singles match in WWE over the past decade. Despite suffering a series of extremely frightening injuries throughout her career, she has still found a way to add excitement to pro wrestling at its highest level.

Teaming with Becky Lynch this winter, Dumas continued her Hall of Fame run as Lita. The two won the women’s tag team titles, then added Trish Stratus into the mix at WrestleMania 39 for a bout against Bayley, Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai.

“The injuries I’ve had in the past, I can’t say they don’t try to creep their way into my head every time I get back in the ring,” says Dumas, who broke her neck while wrestling two decades ago. “Once I’m in the ring, I usually forget all about that. That’s the only way for me to be successful. If you’re doubting yourself when you’re in there, it’s a surefire way to get hurt again. It plays in my head still, but I’m very fortunate that most days I feel great.”
