Trish Stratus Reveals Motivation Behind WWE Return

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus recently appeared on the “Out of Character with Ryan Satin” podcast to discuss her decision to return to the wrestling world. During the interview, Stratus shed light on the factors that motivated her to step back into the ring and the importance of fan interest in her comeback.

One of the key drivers behind Stratus’ decision to return to WWE was the excitement and interest shown by fans. Speaking on the podcast, Stratus revealed that during live events in Toronto, fans responded enthusiastically to her brief exchanges with female wrestlers. She felt that the interest generated by these interactions signaled a desire among fans to see her compete again.

However, Stratus was also clear that her return to WWE needed to be more than just a personal indulgence. She wanted to check certain boxes and ensure that the fans were genuinely invested in her storylines and matches. The possibility of facing off against Charlotte Flair was something that she found particularly appealing, highlighting the importance of meaningful and exciting match-ups for her comeback.

In addition, Stratus discussed the social media feud she had with Becky Lynch as a key factor in her decision to return to WWE. She noted that the exchange generated significant interest from fans and helped to build momentum for her eventual comeback.

“When I went back, they were having the live events and they were coming through Toronto. Twice I had dabbled with the girls in the ring. You know what it was? It was like the fans being so interested in this fantasy booking and seeing this kind of happen. If I’m going to come back, there’s like these certain boxes I want to check. I want the fans to be interested. I want them to care. I don’t just want to come back for my own kicks. I want something that’s interesting, like, you know, Charlotte versus Trish Stratus, oh my God, that’s interesting. When Becky and I were exchanging, you know, it was literally a social media feud and people were into it. People were so into it and when we faced off in Toronto, it was really fun. Same with Bayley. There’s a moment we had in the ring in Toronto for RAW. I think just doing that and getting the mix and seeing the interest from fans, and that’s where I’m sure WWE got the interest from, like, ‘Oh, this could work’, and then yeah, here we are.”

As one of the most popular and respected wrestlers of her generation, Stratus’ return is sure to generate excitement and anticipation among fans. Her desire to deliver compelling matches and storylines, combined with her passion for the sport, make her an asset to WWE and a force to be reckoned with in the ring.
