Hall of Famer returning in Saudi Arabia? - 5 possible finishes for Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus at WWE Night of Champions 2023
WWE RAW featured the last-minute build for Night of Champions. A few big-time matches were made official, one of which will see a Hall of Famer battle arguably the greatest female star of all time.
WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus will go toe-to-toe with Becky Lynch live from the Jeddah Super Some in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, May 27th. This bout comes after a few months of quality storytelling.
Becky and Trish were initially united, even teaming up in a six-woman tag team match at WrestleMania. Unfortunately, Trish's jealousy and bitterness towards Becky's success and the perceived lack of respect led to a heel turn.
Now that the two iconic female stars are set to clash, who will stand tall in the end? This article will look at five possible finishes for the two superstars at the major event in Saudi Arabia, which may include the return of a Hall of Famer.
Below are five possible finishes for Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus at WWE Night of Champions 2023.
#5. Trish Stratus could pin Becky Lynch, likely by cheating
Trish Stratus is a highly decorated star who deserves respect. While she constantly asks for adulation from both the audience and her peers, it could be argued that she deserves the praise.
Stratus is a seven-time WWE Women's Champion. At one time, she held the record for the most reigns. She's also a former Hardcore Champion. Trish also broke barriers by wrestling inside of a steel cage and even in the main event of RAW.
While she might not do it fairly, there's no reason to believe that the Hall of Fame Canadian can't win at Night of Champions. Trish could hold Becky's tights or even use a weapon of some kind behind the referee's back. In the end, Stratus may pin Lynch in the middle of the ring.
#4. Becky Lynch could make Trish Stratus tap out at WWE Night of Champions

Trish Stratus certainly has a claim of being one of the greatest female wrestlers in WWE history. Still, there's an argument that could be made favoring Becky Lynch as the number one women's wrestler in the company's history.
Becky Lynch has held every women's championship on the main roster. She set the record for the longest RAW Women's Championship reign and was the first to win the SmackDown Women's Championship. She has even won in the main event of WrestleMania.
The Man has all to defeat Trish and fully claim the spot of the greatest female wrestler of all time. She may put Trish Stratus in the Dis-Arm-Her at WWE Night of Champions and force the Hall of Famer to submit.
#3. Lita could prevent Trish from cheating and help Becky win
While Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch are understandably the focus of this rivalry, they aren't the only two involved. Another person who was at the root of this storyline was WWE Hall of Famer Lita.
Lita returned to the company and won the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles alongside Becky Lynch. Trish then returned and was seemingly tagging along with the champions before attacking Lita backstage and then assaulting Becky in the ring.
The Hall of Famer hasn't been heard from since Trish viciously attacked her on an episode of RAW. There's a chance that at Night of Champions, Lita will return and stop Trish Stratus' inevitable attempt at breaking the rules, which will then allow The Man to pin Lita's former bestie.
#2. The bout could end without a satisfying conclusion to further the storyline

Fans love satisfying conclusions to major matches. Unfortunately, it isn't always possible for those to take place. Sometimes a non-finish or a screwy finish is required to further a story along.
WWE Night of Champions could feature an unsatisfying finish to further the long-term rivalry between Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch. For example, the two could brawl until they're both counted out.
Another option is for the bout to end by disqualification. Becky could potentially attack Trish past the referee's five count and lose the match as a result. Additionally, there's a chance Stratus could use a weapon of some kind and lose by disqualification but still stand tall over The Man.
#1. Lita could shockingly reunite with Trish Stratus
As noted, there's certainly a chance that WWE Hall of Famer Lita could make her presence known at Night of Champions this Saturday. While the most obvious and logical move is for her to help Becky as means of getting revenge on her former bestie, things could go in a different direction.
Lita and Trish Stratus are long-time rivals, but they're also close friends. There's a chance that, despite Trish attacking her fellow Hall of Famer backstage, the two have since reunited.
If the pair did reunite, there's a chance that Lita will return at WWE Night of Champions and screw Becky Lynch out of a win. A distraction or surprise strike could be enough to allow Trish to level Becky with a kick. If the veteran stars stand tall over Becky, the future of the company could be in their hands.
