Trish Stratus saw so many reasons for another extended run in WWE, something she hadn’t had since her first retirement in 2006.
The WWE Hall of Famer saw a chance at a generational feud with Becky Lynch, one of the biggest stars of this era, after their interactions at live events and social media in 2021 sparked plenty of fan interest.
Fast forward to 2023 and during this four-month heel run opposite Lynch, Stratus has gotten to wrestle in Saudia Arabia, in her first ladder match at Money in the Bank and now her first-ever steel cage match when she and “The Man” clash at WWE’s Payback pay-per-view at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on Sunday .“There were a lot of elements I didn’t have back in the day,” Stratus said. “The obvious things are the opportunities to be in a cage match or a ladder match or go to Saudi Arabia.
“At the end of the day, as long as we deliver, as long as we leave the fans entertained, satisfied, Stratus-fied that’s what my goal is to come here and do the things we never got to do, show them something they’ve never see before,” Stratus said when asked if there was any disappointment of not being on the SummerSlam card.
It comes across the screen during her promos as she toys with fan’s emotions again and her peers have noticed as well, some coming to her to say “Wow you’re really having fun with this?’” Last Monday, she was able to flip the Raw crowd in Quebec City in her home country of Canada from cheering for her to chanting “We don’t f–king care” in French as she delivered her promo, something she said she asked Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to translate for her when she got to back.
She said to me, she’s like, ‘I’m standing next to Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. I can’t suck today.’” Stratus said. “I love that we’re pushing each other and I certainly think she’s the future of the business.” Stratus added that she has been very hands-on with Stark, going over promos and matches like her mentors did with her because she feels it important to “give back, give the rub, pass the torch.
