Title Lost: WWE Womens Championship Lost Title To: Trish Stratus Title Lost: WWE Womens Championship Lost Title To: Mickie James Poor Lita. Has anyone lost their title twice in a two-month span and been denied a rematch both times? Both situations, however, involved retirements, so its not like there was a vast conspiracy against the Hall of Famer. Lita lost her Womens Championship to a retiring Trish Stratus at Unforgiven in 2006 in Trishs hometown of Toronto (tapping out to the Sharpshooter, no less). Lita would go on to win the vacant title six weeks later and announce that she also was retiring at Survivor Series and planned to go out as champ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WbwGuVJZT0 Enter Mickie James, who had lost to Lita in the tournament finals. Mickie redeemed herself and saved WWE from having to hold two tournaments for a vacant womens title that fall. While it kind of stunk for Lita to go out like that, WWE gave two of their most talented female wrestlers great platforms to go out on in high-quality, PPV championship matches. Win or lose, thats not a bad way to end your career.
