Trish Stratus drops major WWE return tease ahead of SmackDown
WWE legend Trish Stratus seemingly teased a major return ahead of tonight's episode of SmackDown. The Hall of Famer served as the host for WWE Money in the Bank 2024 in Toronto earlier this year.
Stratus took to her Instagram account ahead of tonight's upcoming edition of SmackDown in Salt Lake City, Utah, to share an interesting message. She shared a video of herself with the date 'November 25, 2024,' featured prominently.
Interestingly, the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW falls on the featured date and will be the go-home edition of the red brand before WWE Survivor Series: WarGames in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
"Monday ….," wrote Stratus.

Bill Apter predicts Trish Stratus will return to WWE for one last match
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently predicted that Trish Stratus would return to the company to have a retirement match.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast earlier this year, the veteran noted that Stratus had been traveling the world appearing at conventions during her time away from the company. He added that she still looked incredible and would likely want to have one last match against a top star in the company.
"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," he said. [From 11:03 onwards]

Trish Stratus has accomplished a lot throughout her professional wrestling career and was inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame in 2013. The 48-year-old still looks to be in phenomenal shape and could return for another stint in the company.
