Trish Stratus Has Her Say On WWE Return

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus has given her thoughts after making her shocking return to WWE on Monday Night Raw to help out an old friend.

Reports had suggested that Stratus was set for a return to WWE following the re-emergence of Lita on the 6th of February edition of Raw. Lita came to the aid of Becky Lynch who was facing Bayley in a steel cage match that was being interrupted by the Damage CTRL pairing of IYO SKY and Dakota Kai. Lynch picked up the win over Bayley but she and Lita’s partnership was just beginning.

Bayley accepted a challenge on the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions’ behalf for Raw in Grand Rapids, Michigan with SKY and Kai forced to put their title on the line against Becky Lynch and Lita.

With that match taking place, Bayley provided an edge for Damage CTRL on the outside of the ring, with her interventions in the bout looking to prove ever more decisive. However, she was stopped in her tracks when Trish Stratus emerged to even the odds and take out The Role Model.

In the ring, IYO SKY was locked in the Disarm-her by Becky Lynch which allowed Lita to hit a huge moonsault on Kai to pick up the win. With that victory, Lita captured her first championship in WWE since 2006.

Following the show and in a WWE Digital Exclusive, Lita, Becky Lynch, and Trish Stratus revealed they formulated a plan to combat the numbers advantage held by Damage CTRL with Stratus adding that she picked her spot to get involved:

“Listen, I knew these guys could handle it for the most part, but you know, Bayley is a little sneaky. So, I had my eye out.”

Stratus was reported to be planned for the previous week’s Raw show but those plans were abandoned with the seven-time WWE Women’s Champion seemingly leaving the event before the segment she was originally meant to be involved in.
