WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus hasn’t competed inside a WWE ring since her steel cage match with Becky Lynch at Payback 2023, which has made fans wonder if she will ever step foot inside a WWE ring again. While her WWE future remains uncertain, Stratus has now addressed potentially competing outside WWE in the future.

While speaking with Rick Ucchino on The Takedown, Trish Stratus reflected on her WWE return. She was asked about never getting the chance to face Mercedes Moné and Trish stated many fans probably didn’t expect her to wrestle again after her Royal Rumble appearance, which served as a showcase of her abilities.

However, the WWE Hall of Famer would go on to note that by the time she considered coming back for another big match, Mercedes had already left WWE and it was not possible to have a match with her.

“I really think people never thought I’d ever come back for another match. After the Royal Rumble, it was enough. It was a sizzle real, so to speak, of Trish Stratus and Stratusfaction, which is not easy to pull off, but like, ‘All right. You still got it,’ whatever. But to think of, can she come back after how many years to do a match like 17 years after my retirement, whatever the crazy number is, which is wild, yeah, but then [Mone] left.”

When asked if a major match could tempt her to join another company, Trish made it clear she’s loyal to WWE. She said she considers herself a WWE person through and through but acknowledged that anything can happen in wrestling.

“Oh, [waves her hands no]. No, I really am a WWE girl all the way, I really am, but you never, you never know. So much more life to have me.”

In the meantime, Trish Stratus has already hinted at making her WWE return for her 25th anniversary in professional wrestling. Therefore, fans will have to wait and see when the pro wrestling legend will make her return to WWE, as it’s highly unlikely she will ever compete outside the company.
