On episode 22 of Chris Jerichos Talk Is Jericho podcast, his guest was fellow Attitude Era alumnus Amy Dumas aka Lita. Talk (is Jericho) inevitably turned to Litas storylines with ex-lover Adam Edge Copeland specifically to the live sex celebration in January 2006, after the Rated R Superstar had cashed in the first ever Money In The Bank briefcase to defeat John Cena for the WWE championship. After the pay-per-view victory, Lita and Edge would declare that they would celebrate the win by having sex on the following nights Monday Night RAW, in the middle of the ring. Lita was clearly cringing having to recall the incredibly embarrassing segment it hadnt been anything to do with Edge or herself, and was all Vinces idea. Trying to put her more at her ease, Jericho reminded her of a part of his storyline when tagging Christian, where the Dudley Boyz had stolen their bags when they were in the shower, forcing them to hunt for their clothes backstage wearing only towels, until lured in front of the live audience the towels would be ripped away leaving them completely naked. Wait, what? Jericho sought clarification from the genius behind the XFL.
I want you to be naked. Well, what do you mean? I want you to be naked. You want us to be standing out there, completely naked. Well, yes! Thats what I want!
In the end, Jericho persuaded McMahon that risking arrest for exposing themselves to the children in attendance wasnt worth the attention to realism: some flesh coloured underwear and a little light pixelation persuaded the audience at home that the two had been two nude dudes in front of the Smackdown audience. Lita wouldnt be so lucky she and Edge managed to convince the boss that the majority of the action should take place under the covers of the bed that had been placed in the ring for that purpose, but live television is live television, and there was a regrettable wardrobe malfunction one thats been cleaned up since then, before you go running to the WWE Network. You filthy monkeys.
