That's right, all the naughty pictures you have seen of Lita are fake.

02/23/01 Internet News/Rumors Lita has been declared the Best Female Wrestler of 2000, by World Of Wrestling magazine, which is widely available here in the UK, and is available in the US as well (I think). The feature is called 'World Of Wrestling Awards 2000', and is on pages 36-45. As far as I can see, the awards have been given out by the writers of the magazine, rather than the fans. As well as the above award, Lita is also placed at number 5 in the categories of 'Best Face', and 'Hottest Bombshell'.". [Amish Patel] Lita has been declared the "Breakout Performer Of The Year" in the World Wrestling Federation Magazine (March 2001 Issue) in their Best Of 2000 Awards. She got 32.9% of the votes while Kurt Angle only garnered 24.7%. [OWOW] The on screen romance that fans witnessed tonight between Lita and Matt Hardy is a relationship that has been speculated outside of the wrestling ring for quite sometime. Although it has never been confirmed by Hardy or Lita that the two actually are involved in a relationship outside of the WWF, many sources have speculated that this rumor is indeed true. Monday night's "kiss" between the two is further indication that the two have something between each other both inside and outside of the WWF realm. [Alex Bozich]
02/26/01 Monday Night Raw In a match for the No. 1 contender spot for the Women's Title, Molly Holly and Lita faced off.

03/02/01 Internet News Amy Dumas (Lita) has recently starred in a TV commercial for Molson beer. With her ever rising stardom and popularity, the future looks bright for Lita. Using this TV commercial as experience, it is likely that she will be a part of TV more frequently in the near future. These extra TV opportunities will not get in the way of her main job, in the WWF. [James Dylan] WebMaster's Note: This guy is either her agent or a fortune teller!
03/05/01 Monday Night Raw As Matt and Jeff Hardy discussed what they were going to do in their match later, Lita came up to the boys and said she was heading to the ring for her title match against Ivory. Matt said they weren't letting her go to the ring alone, and he convinced Jeff to go with him and Lita for her match. During the match, the Hardyz mixed it up with Steven and Val, and as Jeff Hardy went to hit Val, he accidentally took out Lita! Ivory then dragged Lita back in the ring, where she made the pin to retain her title! [wwf.com]
03/09/01 Internet News/Rumors One reason for the WWF not splitting the Hardy Boyz up is that Lita is the sole backbone of the team and if the Hardy Boyz were to break up, she would be out of a storyline in the WWF. The creative team still feels that the Hardy Boyz still have what it takes to be one of the top tag teams in the WWF. Sources are reporting that if the WWF does not turn the team heel then they will have to break the team up because lack of ideas for them and teams to go up against. One good way to look at it is that if they do break up it will leave room for another tag team to be formed. A few sources say that if the WWF decides that the Hardy Boyz should break up then Lita would either be a manager or she would just be given a deep storyline angle with the Women's division in the World Wrestling Federation. [Randy Marsten] Reports have it that Lita will be featured in the April edition of the Teen People magazine, but in fact she is not anywhere in it. With that being said, look for her to be in the People magazine, and not the Teen magazine. No word on why the change was made, but she should be appearing sometime within the next couple of weeks. Lita will also be making a television appearance in the UK on “Live and Kicking”. That will air on Sunday March 10th, 2001. The advertisement for this appearance said: Next Saturday, we'll have WWF’s Diva Lita on the show, lets hope she shows us her moonsault." [Steve Carrier] When she was Miss Congeniality in ECW, Lita apparently admitted to dating Matt Hardy to ECW co-workers. However, when she went to the WWF, she denied doing so, fearing it could affect the WWF hiring her. It has recently come out again that they had dated, although its not known whether they are still together. [Joe D'Ambrose] The April 2001 issue of the WWF magazine has another edition of the Informer's News and Rumors section. *The informer hints that Lita & Matt Hardy will be turning on Jeff Hardy. [James Dylan]
03/16/01 Internet Rumor For a few weeks we have been hearing from various sources that the Hardy Boyz were going to separate and focus on singles careers. Well, if this happened, everyone was saying that they would break up because of Lita. It is known that Matt Hardy and Lita are together, and it has been shown on television. Rumor has it that they are going to break up, but with Lita siding with Jeff. The WWF is thinking of having the storyline go like this; Jeff and Lita were supposedly having a secret relationship this whole time, and when Matt finds this out, Jeff and Lita will become heels leaving Matt the babyface. It's strictly rumor at this point in time, but that is definitely a possibility. [Nathan Mayers]
03/23/01 Internet News Lita, Trish, Jackie, and Chyna will be in the May 2001 UK FHM magazine, which can be found in the US at Barnes & Noble. It will come out in April.

04/01/01 Wrestlemania X-Seven PPV In the ring, the teams set up three ladders, and all six men were soon climbing towards the titles! And all six men soon flew off the ladders!

04/09/01 Monday Night Raw In their locker room, the Hardys discussed their match against Stephanie, Austin and Triple H. As Matt worried, he asked Jeff what he thought. Jeff replied by saying the opportunity was awesome, and he couldn't wait to get out there and beat them! Lita and Matt agreed and the three got ready to go. As Stephanie prepared for her match later, Stone Cold and Triple H spoke to each other. When Stephanie asked to be included on the conversation, the two men said they were done. In a six-person intergender tag team match, the Hardy Boyz and Lita took on World Wrestling Federation Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin, Intercontinental Champion Triple H and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. The match began with Austin and Triple H going after the Hardys, and Stephanie knocked Lita out of the ring. The Hardys isolated the Game and nailed him with Poetry in Motion, and Jeff hit him with a corkscrew off the top rope! Jeff then attempted to pin Triple H, with help from Matt, but the Game kicked out and tagged in Austin. Matt Hardy then began pounding on Austin in the corner and went for a cover, but Austin kicked out! Jeff Hardy was tagged in, and Austin began punishing him with fierce right hands. Stone Cold tagged in Triple H, who continued to brutalize Jeff, but Jeff was able to escape and tag in his brother, who flew in and hit both Austin and Triple H with a double-clothesline! The match then spilled out of the ring, while in the ring, Lita hit Stephanie with the Twist of Fate and a moonsault! Lita then covered Stephanie for the win! After the match, Triple H and Austin assaulted Lita with a steel chair and a Pedigree! Stone Cold then laid out both Hardy Boyz with his steel chair! Lita then rolled on top of Matt Hardy, trying to protect him from further beatings, but Austin just hit her with a chair! The Game then pulled Lita up by the hair, leaving her defenseless as Austin hit her with a Stunner! All three members of Team Extreme were left lying as RAW went off the air! [wwf.com]
04/12/01 Thursday Smackdown The Rattlesnake said that the Hardys and Lita were in the wrong place at the wrong time. He said he felt no remorse for what he did to Lita on RAW IS WAR, and added that there wasn't a single sumbitch in the locker room who could stop him or Triple H. As Austin mocked the crowd, Jeff Hardy attacked Triple H from behind with a chair, and then hit the Rattlesnake! With Austin and the Game reeling, Stephanie went up to Jeff and slapped him across his face! Jeff retaliated by nailing Stephanie with the Twist of Fate! Jeff then fled the ringside area as an irate Triple H and Stone Cold tried to recover! After the commercial break, Commissioner William Regal watched footage of what had just happened, calling it an outrage. Triple H entered the commissioner's office, and an enraged Game told Regal that nobody did that to his wife, and he wanted a piece of Jeff Hardy on SmackDown! Regal said he would take care of it. Jeff Hardy entered Commissioner Regal's office, and Regal informed him that he would be receiving an Intercontinental Championship match against the Game on SmackDown! Regal then told Jeff never to put his hands on a woman ever again, and when Jeff tried to complain about what Austin and the Game did to Lita, Regal just ignored him and told him to stay away from Stephanie! Regal said that if Jeff ever put his hands on Stephanie again, then he would never receive another title shot -- and Jeff said that after SmackDown!, he might not ever need another title shot, since he could be the new Intercontinental Champion! A medical technician checked on Stephanie's neck. The billion-dollar princess complained to Triple H that not only had Jeff injured her neck, but he had also broken her earring -- her really expensive diamond ones! The Game told Stephanie to stay backstage to get medical attention, and he promised to kick Jeff's ass just for her. The main event on SmackDown! was an Intercontinental Championship match, as Triple H defended against Jeff Hardy. With Stone Cold, Matt Hardy and Lita not in the arena, and with Stephanie backstage still nursing her neck injury suffered earlier in the night, the bout was set to be straight-up one-on-one for the title. The Game gained control of the match, but soon made a mistake by mouthing off to the referee, and then shoving him down. That gave Matt Hardy -- who had been at the arena all along -- the opportunity to sneak into the ring and nail Triple H in the head with a chair, allowing Jeff to hit the Swanton and score the pin! [wwf.com]
04/13/01 Internet Rumors/News The Lita/Spike Dudley feud has said to be just getting started. Look for the two to continue to get involved in each others' business as well as fight each other when The Hardyz and The Dudleyz wrestle each other. [Mark Peters] The Spike Dudley/Lita Match was cut from the UK version of HeAT due to issues involving violence towards women. [Liam Manton] Once again, as TSN oh-so-loves to do, they edited Raw on Monday night. Of course, as always, it involves the beating of a woman. After the Hardys & Lita defeated Austin, Triple H & Stephanie, Austin and Triple H began to brutally decimate the so-called Team Extreme. TSN saw enough after Austin began bashing Lita with a chair while she was trying to protect Matt Hardy. They cut to the stands, then cut back to the ring, and cut to the stands again. Eventually they just pulled the plug, and cut to their regularly scheduled programming (a sports news show similar to ESPN's SportsCenter). JR didn't even get to bid us goodbye and to watch SmackDown! on Thursday, because TSN cut the show short. [Fred Cook]
04/16/01 Monday Night Raw The night's main event pitted Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy against Triple H. Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley accompanied her husband to the ring, and Lita joined Jeff as Matt watched on from the back. The match began with the Game pounding on Jeff, throwing shoulders into his midsection, causing Jeff to double over in pain. Jeff struggled to recover and Triple H continued to pound on him. Just when it seemed Jeff was fighting back, Triple H flattened him again with a thunderous clothesline! The Game went for a Pedigree, but Jeff countered with a jaw-breaker. Triple H came back with a face-buster and went for the pin, but Lita pulled him off! The match spilled outside the ring, where Jeff smacked the Game with the Intercontinental Title! The referee didn't see it, so the match continued, and Jeff started tossing Triple H face-first into the ring steps! Jeff tossed Triple H into the ring and nailed him with a sky-high drop kick, but Triple H kicked out at two! Triple H began to climb the ropes, but Jeff followed him up and hit the Game with a Hurricanrana off the top rope! Hardy then tried for a Swanton Bomb, but the Game rolled away! As Matt Hardy watched on in the back, Stone Cold attacked him! Lita saw what happened on the TitanTron, and she began to go back to help Matt, but Stone Cold met her at the entrance! He began slowly stalking her out to ring side, and meanwhile, Triple H pinned Jeff Hardy after a Pedigree to regain the Intercontinental Title! Afterwards, Matt ran out, but Austin and Triple H continued to put a beating on both Hardys! Stephanie then tossed Lita into the ring, and just as Austin and Triple H were about to go after her, Undertaker and Kane came out to the ring! Austin and Triple H ran to the back as Taker and Kane entered the ring! [wwf.com]

04/29/01 Sunday Heat Molly and Lita met each other to possibly decide who the #1 contender would be. Both women scored several close pinfalls on one another, but Lita was ultimately declared the winner after using the Twist Of Fate on her opponent. [owow.com]
04/30/01 Monday Night Raw Trish Stratus went to the Commish's office. Regal told her that since Mr. McMahon was impressed with her in over Ivory last week, he granted her a match with Women's Champion Chyna -- a non-title match. Regal added that that should Trish defeat Chyna, he may grant her a rematch, and indicated she may actually get in a little move or two. Trish responded that Regal was an expert on what's little! Once again, Chyna's power and strength was just too much. A press slam and powerbomb was enough to finish Trish. Chyna then grabbed the mic to say that as much as she respected the women of the Federation, she feels that he hasn't had any competition of late, so she'd have to spank her competition after defeating them. That brought out Lita, who said Chyna has been a total inspiration to her. But she added that she also has a lot of respect for the Women's Championship, and that if it was competition Chyna wanted, Lita would be honored to fight her for it. Initially, Chyna made a mockery out of Lita's challenge, but soon accepted and told Lita to name a time and place -- but to not be surprised if her hiny was sore the next day. [wwf.com]
05/04/01 Internet Rumors There is speculation that Chyna will soon be making a heel turn. The fact that Lita beat Molly Holly on Sunday night Heat may be a sign that Lita is being set up as Chyna's top contender for the Women's title, and with Lita's relationship with the Hardy Boyz she will always be a face as long as they are, and there have been some rumors Chyna will be returning to Triple H, which would turn her heel. Keep in mind that this is just a rumor at the present moment in time. [Steven Carrier] ----- WWF is pretty upset with the promo between Lita and Chyna, but still feel the match is going to be very well over. Chyna's constant mentioning of "spanking" Lita was probably her cheap attempt at playing a snobby person. The promo was very bad, but never-the-less the crowd was pumped for every stuttered word the two ladies mumbled. [Matt Boone]
05/07/01 Monday Night Raw Before their match against Edge, Christian and Rhyno, the Hardy Boyz told Eddie Guerrero that the only reason they were teaming with him was because Commissioner Regal forced them to. Eddie went on to explain to them that he wants to see Lita beat Chyna, but Lita stopped him and said that it would take a lot more than talk for the Hardys to trust him. Eddie shrugged and said he'd show them in the ring. That match was next, and it began with Matt Hardy in the ring with Christian. Soon, several tags were made, and Jeff Hardy found himself in the ring with Christian. As Christian pummeled Jeff, Eddie Guerrero distracted the referee! Soon, all six competitors found themselves in the ring and Lita nailed Edge with a hurricanrana! As Rhyno lined up to hit her with a Gore, Eddie Guerrero got in his way and took the hit! Rhyno then covered Eddie for the pin. In women's action, Molly Holly took on Lita. Before the match, Chyna, Lita's Judgement Day opponent, came to ringside for guest commentary. After Lita and Molly both flipped and tossed each other around the ring, Lita picked up the win with a moonsault. At that point, Chyna walked into the ring and held Lita's hand up in victory! As Chyna bent down to check on Molly, Lita spanked her and slid out of the ring! [wwf.com]
05/10/01 Thursday Smackdown In six-person tag action, the Hardy Boyz and Lita took on the Goodfather, Bull Buchanan, and Ivory of the Right to Censor. The Right to Censor did not have Steven Richards at ringside, as the group is apparently looking for a new leader! As the match got underway, Eddie Guerrero strolled out to the stage, and moments later, he tripped up Bull, allowing Matt to hit the Twist of Fate and pinfall. [wwf.com]
05/14/01 Monday Night Raw Dean asked Eddie what was up with him helping the Hardy Boyz and Lita. Dean asked Eddie if he remembered any of what the Radicalz have been though in the past with Team Xtreme. Eddie said that he was a team player and that Dean and Perry Saturn would find out what he was up to later! In tag team action, the Hardy Boyz went up against Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn. Eddie Guerrero accompanied his fellow Radicalz to the ring, and Lita joined the Hardys. The high-flying match ended with Terri trying to give Perry Saturn a chair. Eddie Guerrero grabbed the chair from Terri and smacked Perry Saturn with the chair! Matt Hardy rolled Perry up for the win, and then after the match, Eddie smacked Dean Malenko with the chair! In a women's tag team match, the odd combination of Ivory and Molly Holly teamed up to take on Chyna and Lita. During the match, Lita went to tag in Chyna, but the Ninth Wonder of the World told Lita to get back in the ring! Lita went on to struggle against Molly, but picked up the win after hitting Molly with a moonsault. After the match, Chyna raised Lita's arm, but Lita just stared at Chyna in disbelief. In the back, Michael Cole asked Lita what happened in the match. She said that she didn't know why Chyna wouldn't tag in. Then, Chyna walked up and said that she wanted proof that Lita was ready. Lita said she was ready, and then, before walking off, Chyna told Lita that, speaking from personal experience, no one should trust Eddie Guerrero. [wwf.com]
05/17/01 Thursday Smackdown Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy and Lita got ready for their match in the locker room area, and they talked about whether they could trust Eddie Guerrero. As Team Extreme talked, Eddie walked up to them and said he wouldn't trust him either! Guerrero teamed with the Hardys next in six-man action, as the trio took on Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko and Jerry Lynn. One of the big stories in the match was that Guerrero was against Saturn and Malenko, his former partners in the Radicalz. In fact, Guerrero won the bout for his team by forcing Malenko to tap out to his new submission hold -- the Lasso from El Paso. [wwf.com]

05/18/01 Internet Rumor Many feel that this Sunday, at Judgment Day, Lita could very well win the WWF Women's Title from Chyna. Since Lita's debut, it has been imminent that WWF officials have had big plans for the star and this could very well be the beginning of a long title run with the precious Women's Title Belt. If Lita does not win the title, don't be surprised if she wins it sometime in the weeks following Judgment Day. [Mark Peters]

Chyna gained the advantage with a swinging neckbreaker and a powerslam, but Lita kicked out at 2. Chyna then military-pressed Lita and sent her crashing down to the canvas.

Suddenly, Eddie Guerrero slowly walked to the stage to watch the action, as the two women exchanged submission holds in the ring. Moments later, Chyna set Lita up for a powerbomb, but Lita reversed it into a hurricanrana, which earned a near-fall.

This seems very odd, since Trish has seemingly made a baby face turn at WWF WrestleMania X-Seven.

Right now, I don't see what it would do for me, for women or for the view of what woman look like if I were to do it, because it's already been done. But I would like to do something - something that was really impactive and controversial.
Yes, I'd like to be able to do something of the same magnitude, but I just don't know what that is yet."

Lita has watched the TV ever since Tuesday morning and the only thing that has changed is it's become more of a reality. Lita has never felt anything like this, personally or on a National level.

When he was unable to get their conditions quickly enough, he ran out of the entertainment complex. J.R. then informed viewers that Jeff and Lita had been taken to a local medical facility. [wwf.com]
12/20/01 Thursday Smackdown Undertaker headed to the ring, and as he did, he was attacked from behind by Matt, who smacked him with a kendo stick! The two men then met up for Taker's Hardcore Championship. Once Taker was able to regroup, he physically dominated Matt, and pinned him with the Last Ride to retain his title. After the bout, Taker was about to ride his bike out of the arema, but he thought twice about it and instead returned to the ring. There, he grabbed a steel chair, put it across Matt's throat, and slammed his neck down forcefully onto the chair! Matt clutched at his throat as Taker walked away coldly.
During the break, Matt was taken away on a stretcher, with paramedics paying special attention to Matt's neck. Taker approached him and told Matt to keep one thought in mind during his trip to the hospital -- "Was the bitch really worth it?" [wwf.com]
