Trish Stratus, currently on hiatus from WWE, made a notable return last year at WrestleMania, teaming up with Lita and Becky Lynch against Damage CTRL. The storyline escalated as Stratus replaced Lita as The Man’s tag team partner on RAW, leading to a belt loss to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
A fierce rivalry unfolded between Stratus and Zoey Stark against The Man, culminating in a Steel Cage Match at Payback. Lita and Lynch claimed the Women’s Tag Team Championship from Dakota Kai and IYO SKY amidst the chaos. Stratus has been absent since a backstage attack by Lita on RAW.
In a recent Q&A with For The Love of Wrestling, Trish Stratus and Lita hinted at a potential title run in WWE, mentioning The Kabuki Warriors and expressing interest in reigniting their feud with Damage CTRL. Lita challenged the notion of a tag title curse, proposing that their partnership could break the alleged jinx.

Addressing The Kabuki Warriors, Stratus delivered a message in Asuka’s style, teasing a formidable duo with Team Bestie. Zoey Stark’s betrayal of Stratus after a defeat to Becky Lynch at Payback added an unexpected twist to their storyline.
Trish Stratus shared insights on Stark’s sudden rise in WWE, highlighting their dynamic and the unexpected turn of events. The protege angle, initially unplanned, was a suggestion by WWE’s Triple H, drawing parallels to his past rivalry with Batista, portraying a mentor versus student narrative.
Despite Stark and Shayna Baszler’s unsuccessful bid for the Women’s Tag Team Championship against The Kabuki Warriors on RAW, speculation arose about Stratus intervening in the unfolding drama. Fans anticipated a potential return and confrontation with the young talent post the Payback fallout.
