WWE legend Trish Stratus made a monumental return in August 2022, embracing a full-time role. Joining forces with Lita, she helped defeat Damage CTRL before stunningly betraying Becky Lynch in April 2023. Their explosive feud has captivated fans, delivering thrilling battles and leaving everyone on the edge of their seats for what’s next.
On the most recent edition of RAW, WWE writer Vince Russo criticized Trish Stratus’s promo.
“For somebody that’s been there as long as Trish, you’re really gonna come up with the line that I’m better looking than each and everyone of you. Trish really? That’s what we’re gonna come up with, that’s high school verbiage, that’s not clever, it’s not creative, it’s not smart and then of course the angle that I’m not medically cleared. This is a double edged sword because I’m gonna put it over then I’m gonna take it away. They made a concerted effort of booking matches for next week. Now I read online that the reason they’re trying to do this is because Vince [McMahon] doesn’t like to cancel booked matches so they are advertising a match, Vince ain’t gonna change it at the last minute which I call BS on that.”
Further, added, “I like the fact that they are promoting next week, they’re making a concerted effort to do that for whatever reason. But don’t do that in front of the people because you’re screwing that crowd. Cut the verbiage and then have the announcers come back and say it has been booked. Come on Trish, that’s horrible. You’re a Hall of Famer, you gotta do better,” an article from sportskeeda.com quoted him as saying.
In an electrifying RAW showdown, the seven-time WWE women’s champion clashed with Raquel Rodriguez in a ladder qualifier. With a shocking twist, Becky Lynch disrupted the match, granting Trish a win by disqualification. Amidst the chaos, the former Hardcore Champion joined forces with Zoey Stark, strategically thwarting the Lass Kicker’s pursuit.
The ultimate triumph came as SKY soared to victory, ascending the ladder and claiming the well-deserved win. Unforgettable moments, relentless rivalries, and an awe-inspiring underdog story unfolded in a single unforgettable night.
