Lita vs. Mickie James for the Women's Championship
November 26, 2006
At Survivor Series, Lita will put the Womens Championship on the line against the Diva she defeated to claim the gold, Mickie James.
Back in August, Lita defeated Mickie to win the Womens Championship on RAW. She later lost the gold to Trish Stratus at Unforgiven, but Trishs retirement left the championship vacant. A tournament was set up, and Mickie and Lita were the final two Divas left standing. They went head-to-head in the finals at Cyber Sunday, where Lita won a Divas Lumberjack Match to become Womens Champion for the fourth time.
The night after Cyber Sunday, Lita offered Mickie a rematch; however, with acting General Manager Eric Bischoffs blessing, the challenger was forced to have one arm tied behind her back. This left her easy prey for Lita, who defeated Mickie for the second consecutive night to retain the title.
However, Mickie got a measure of revenge on Nov. 13 in Manchester, England. She met Lita in a non-title match, but this time Mickie's legs were chained together.
Somehow, she was able to overcome this handicap, and thanks to a little help from DX, Mickie pinned Lita.
Now, at Survivor Series, Mickie will have a fairer opportunity to become a two-time Womens Champion. Will the third challenge be the charm, or will Philadelphia see Lita improve to 4-0 against her challenger with the gold on the line?
