General
In 2000, Lita always carried her belt, never had it around her waist, or over her shoulder [apart from October 19 and November 2].
In 2004, she had it twice round her waist, once over her shoulder, and only once carried it.
In 2006, she has worn it eight times around her waist, and four times on her shoulder. [18-9-06]
The December 6 2004 and the August 14 2006 reigns both lasted 34 days.
August 21 2000
The Rock was the special guest referee.
Lita vs. Stephanie was the Rock's first referee assignment.
The storyline may have been that the Rock helped Lita become the Women's Champion, but he wouldn't have got involved if Triple H and Angle hadn't interfered!
Lita and Stephanie made history as they were the first divas to be in a female main event on RAW.
Lita and Stephanie made history also as they were in the first main event featuring the Women's Championship.
August 21 2000 was Lita's longest reign to date, of 70 days.
December 6 2004
Lita and Trish were also in the main event on RAW, in a match many have called the best woman's match ever.
Lita captured her second Women's Championship in the main event of Raw again, becoming the first WWE diva to do so.
August 14 2006
Lita defeated Mickie James in their first encounter [RAW].
Lita winning the WWE Women's Championship made her and Edge the second couple in WWE history to possess double gold, after Triple H and Stephanie in 2000.
Or as Craig Tello put it: "the premiere power couple holding WWE's most coveted championships".
Excerpt from the RAW commentary during Lita's winning match:
King: JR you gotta hand it to Lita; I'd forgotten how well she can wrestle!
JR: Lita can fight, there's no doubt about that.
And later:
JR: Lita showing a great resilience, gotta hand her that.
August 14th 2006 was Lita's first heel reign.
November 5 2006
This reign marked Lita's first appearance at the Cyber Sunday PPV.
November 5th 2006 was Lita's shortest reign, of only three weeks [21 days].
