WWE Hall Of Famer Returning On Raw
A WWE Hall of Famer is going to appear on Raw to set up an upcoming PLE match.
The WWE Night of Champions PLE is in the rearview mirror, which means it’s time to look forward to some huge events in July.
There will be two shows on July 12th as the NXT Great American Bash PLE takes place in the afternoon, while Saturday Night’s Main Event takes place in the evening, with Goldberg challenging Gunther for the World Heavyweight Title at that show.
On Sunday, July 13th, the women’s only Evolution PLE returns, and it’s expected to feature a lot of talent from the WWE main roster, as well as NXT people and some legends from the past.
It has been reported by PWInsider Elite that WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is in Pittsburgh for the June 30th edition of Raw. It is expected that Stratus will likely be part of some angle to set up a match at the Evolution PLE, which is less than two weeks away
Since WWE is also taping SmackDown right after Raw this week, it’s possible that Stratus could appear on SmackDown as well.
Trish Stratus is celebrating her 25th year in the professional wrestling business, having debuted in early 2000 and retired in September 2006. Since then, Stratus has returned multiple times, including a heel run in 2023 that featured a lengthy feud with Becky Lynch.
At WWE Elimination Chamber, Trish Stratus teamed up with Tiffany Stratton to beat Nia Jax and Candice LeRae in Trish’s hometown of Toronto with her family sitting in the crowd.

In addition to the major shows coming up, there’s also SummerSlam on August 2nd & August 3rd, so WWE is likely going to set up some big matches soon. Cody Rhodes will face John Cena for the WWE Title at SummerSlam, since Cody won King of the Ring, while Queen of the Ring Jade Cargill will challenge Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Title at SummerSlam.
As for Raw on June 30th, the show has a special 6 p.m. ET start time and a loaded advertised lineup.

Fans in Pittsburgh will also get to see SmackDown right after Raw, as WWE is taping SmackDown early since it falls on July 4th, which is the US Independence Day holiday. This will give talent and staff the week off for the holiday on Friday.
