And it\u2019s not like \u2018what women do we have on the show? Where\u2019s this representation?\u2019 No, fair game. Everyone go. Grab your spot and we go out there. Some nights that might mean eight women\u2019s matches on the card, some nights that might mean two.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cTo not still feel like it\u2019s a box to check to make sure to represent the women. Of course they\u2019re going to be represented, because they\u2019re good. Just continuing on not being confined by gender. It\u2019s like: \u2018I see a prize, I go after it.&#8217; We\u2019re not worried about what defines my gender. I see a title, and that\u2019s what I want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lita will team with Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/03\/20\/wrestlemania-39-full-match-card\/\">WrestleMania 39<\/a> to take on Damage CNTRL.
