During the latest Monday Night Raw, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Lita was attacked by a mystery assailant, forcing Trish Stratus, a WWE Hall of Famer, to defend the tag titles with Co-Champion Becky Lynch. However, Stratus shocked the WWE Universe by turning heel and attacking Lynch after the duo lost the titles to Smackdown Superstars Liv Morgan and Raquel González.
Former All Elite Wrestling World Champion Thunder Rosa recently spoke on Busted Open Radio about why she believes that Trish Stratus turning heel is a great move for the WWE. According to Rosa, Stratus’s heel turn will help to elevate Becky Lynch’s status as a super-duper babyface.
Rosa praised Stratus’s ability to generate a reaction from the crowd, stating that her past heel persona was “all money.” She also noted that if WWE can showcase a bit of Stratus’s heel persona in her current storyline with Lynch, it will make Lynch even more over with the fans.
Rosa’s comments highlight the importance of character development in the world of professional wrestling. By turning a beloved babyface like Trish Stratus into a heel, the WWE has the opportunity to create a compelling storyline that will captivate the audience and elevate the careers of the wrestlers involved. It remains to be seen how this particular storyline will develop, but Thunder Rosa’s comments suggest that the WWE is on the right track.
