Lita (wrestler)

Amy Christine Dumas (born April 14, 1975), better known by her ring name Lita, is an American retired professional wrestler and singer. She is best known for her tenure in WWE. She is often regarded as one of the greatest female wrestlers in the company's history.

Career
After working for a short time on the independent circuit and in Extreme Championship Wrestling, Dumas began working with the World Wrestling Federation in 1999. She was first paired with Essa Rios. She became more well known when she teamed up with Matt and Jeff Hardy as Team Xtreme. During her career, she won the WWE Women's Championship four times.

Dumas had an off-screen relationship with Matt Hardy. It ended in 2005 after her affair with Adam Copeland (then better known as Edge). WWE used the problems between them as part of a story during 2005 and 2006. The affair was part of the reason Hardy was fired in 2005, but he was rehired later in the year. As a result of her personal life, Dumas' character Lita became a heel for the first time.

After she stopped wrestling in 2006, she became the lead singer of punk rock band The Luchagors. The band released their self-titled CD, The Luchagors on September 11, 2007. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014.

Since her retirement, Dumas has still worked for the WWE in many ways. She has been a trainer for many years. She still takes part in many events which use "Legends" talent. In 2023, she won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Becky Lynch.
