Popular WWE star pushes for Trish Stratus to return
A popular WWE star is pushing for Trish Stratus to return to the company. The legend has not been in action since her loss to Becky Lynch in a Steel Cage match at Payback 2023.
Samantha Irvin shockingly announced her departure from the company earlier this week, and Lilian Garcia was named as her replacement as RAW's ring announcer. Following Garcia's return to the red brand, Stratus sent a message to the veteran and stated that she loved seeing her back in the company.
Garcia responded to Stratus' message and suggested that the Hall of Famer return so she could announce her again.
"Thanks Trish! Now you have to comeback so I can announce you again!" she wrote.
Status was previously aligned with Zoey Stark and served as her mentor. However, Stark betrayed Status at Payback last year and hit her with the Z360 after her loss to Becky Lynch. The 48-year-old returned earlier this year to host Money in the Bank 2024 in Toronto, Canada.
Bill Apter suggests Trish Stratus will return to WWE for one last match
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently predicted that Trish Stratus would eventually return to the promotion to have one final match.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Apter noted that Trish Stratus had been appearing at wrestling conventions around the world during her time away from the company. He suggested that she would return to action down the line against one of the top female stars in the promotion. The veteran also praised Stratus and added that she is still in phenomenal shape.
"Trish has been appearing at conventions all over the world. She has got that; she has never really lost that fire, and I think she wants to finish that story with one more match against one of the top ladies in WWE. It's going to happen because, have you seen her social media? She looks incredible." [From 11:03 onwards]
