"I actually, to be honest with you, found out on the Internet. Essa (Rios) and I weren't suppose to debut that day (February 2000). It was impending, but they didn't know. They were going to have Christian get the title from Gillberg. And for whatever reason - some (storyline that Christian) was involved in, they didnt want to take him away from whatever he was doing - they said, "You kid get your tights. You and your side kick there, you're going out there." And we're going, "Ok, what are our names" And they're going "Um (snaps fingers three times), I dont know, just go out there." And we went out there, and we thought they were just going to tell us next week on TV because it was Sunday Night Heat - it was a Tuesday taping - and I thought they (the announcers) were just going to be like "whoa, who are these kids?" Because Gillberg let out an open challenge. I thought they were just going to say, "We dont even know who they are!" and then think about it. But then I saw it on the internet, for the spoilers, it said, "Essa Rios and Lita defeating Gillberg." And I was going "Well, that's not right because that ... Oh, that's us." Still, the name doesn't quite click with me. At first, I was almost embarassed. I was going "Oh my God, my name is Lita." I'm fine with it now. We've grown together as a unit, my name Lita and me."
