10 WWE Superstars That Got Out At The Right Time
6. Lita
Disgraced and disgruntled, Lita's 2006 Survivor Series exit was one of several grim lowlights many of the company's females had to suffer during a depressing decade for Divas, but the decision to depart itself was remarkably shrewd.
Trish Stratus' September exit had sowed the seeds for a sea change in WWE, and not for the better. Having broke through before the division completely broke down, Lita was too part of a time that already seemed archaic. The revelation of her real-life relationship with Edge behind Matt Hardy's back in 2005 had bought both unexpected time as white hot heels, but the pantomime parade of her 'personal items' following her last match to Mickie James entirely justified her decision to walk away.
Leaving when she did allowed her to indulge in other loves. She sang in punk outfit The Luchagors, appeared on multiple television and radio shows and reconnected with Stratus as touring twosome 'Team Bestie' on the autograph/signing circuit.
Fond recollections of her back catalogue have made her brief WWE returns routinely well-recieved ever since. Entering the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2014, she was selected to usher in a new era of women's wrestling when she oversaw the introduction of a new Women's Championship at WrestleMania 32.
