Austin, who has been injured a ton himself, didn't shy away from asking about Lita's mental state following that nasty neck break in 2002. Later, 'Stone Cold' wanted her thoughts on a devastating ACL injury suffered during a match vs. Trish Stratus at New Year's Revolution 2005.

Lita still can't watch clips of that injury to this day.

Seriously. She was happy to talk about it, but can't actually watch the moment. Lita looked away from the studio screen right as she'd leapt off the ring apron and tore up her knee in the footage; that was a hard injury to recover from, and she was concerned that it might be the end of her career.

Lita wouldn't actually wrestle a proper match for WWE again until the following January (on the 20 Jan 2006 Raw, to be exact). Her knee was in tatters, and she told Austin that things didn't look good for a while. Of course, creative found other things to keep her busy in the interim...
