7 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Elimination Chamber 2022
6. Lita’s Moonsault
Praise the wrestling Gods.
Lita had to hit her famous moonsault on Becky Lynch here. She was saving the flip for the match rather than the build on Raw (or her dealings with Charlotte Flair over on SmackDown), and that was the right call after all. Seeing her soar through the air onto Becks was a killer moment for this show.
This is the kind of thing WWE can replay time and time again for years to come. 'Hey, remember that time when Lita returned to the company, challenged Lynch and then came eerily close to winning the Raw Women's Title?'. That's what company commentators can reminisce about the next time she pops up.
Longtime fans in Saudi Arabia would've got a major kick out of the moonsault too. Imagine someone in their 30s, who might've followed WWE since the 'Attitude' days, seeing that live and in person for the very first time. That's goosebumps-inducing stuff.
