Career
Amy Dumas came to a wide audience first in
ECW in 1999 as the valet for Danny Doring and Amish Roadkill, known as Miss
Congeniality. She left ECW for WWF (WWE) in late 1999.
Upon her arrival in WWF, she was placed as
the valet for a lucha libre wrestler named Essa Rios. As her popularity rose,
she was placed with the Hardy Boyz to become Team Xtreme. Her popularity
skyrocketed along with Matt and Jeff during the WWF Attitude era.

While filming a guest appearance on the FOX
TV series Dark Angel in 2002, she suffered a severe neck injury that required
surgery. She returned as a color comentator on WWE Sunday Night Heat, but
returned to in-ring action in September 2003.
At WWE New Year's Revolution, while
performing a Lou Thesz Press off the ring apron, Lita suffered a torn ACL in her
left knee.
Lita was a face from May 2000 (when Essa
Rios left her) until May 16, 2005, when she turned heel by helping Edge defeat
her onscreen husband, Kane, and thereby win the WWE RAW Gold Rush Tournament,
she later devorced Kane and started a relationship with Edge.
This long time storyline has involved
wrestlers such as Matt Hardy, and Gene Snitsky to keep the fued fresh.

Personal life
For six years, she had had a real-life
relationship with Matt Hardy, until he broke up with her in late February 2005.
The split occurred because Lita had sexual relations with fellow WWE wrestler
Edge. The fallout of the affair led to Matt Hardy's release. On April 18, 2005,
Lita's appearance in Madison Square Garden was met with jeers and calls for Matt
Hardy by a significant section of the audience. Similar chants were directed at
her the following week during her backstage interview, but since the show was
pre-taped in front of a British audience the chants were edited out in the
American broadcast.
In May 2005 Lita was aligned with Copeland
onscreen. She was rumored to have expressed slight discontent with this
storyline as she still claimed to have "feelings" for Matt. In addition, the
storyline was seen as tasteless by Hardy himself along with many smarks.
