During a recent episode of WWE’s flagship show, RAW, fans were shocked when wrestling legend Trish Stratus turned on Becky Lynch, costing her and Lita the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. The betrayal didn’t stop there, as Trish delivered a devastating Chick Kick to The Man before leaving the ring. In a backstage interview, Trish refused to discuss her actions and quickly left the area, leaving fans wondering what could have caused her to turn on her former ally.
However, it seems that this was all part of WWE’s long-term booking strategy. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch are set to face each other in the ring, but fans will have to wait until SummerSlam, WWE’s biggest event of the summer, to see it happen.
The highly-anticipated match is scheduled to take place on August 5th, 2023 at the Ford Fiend in Detroit, and fans are already buzzing with excitement over what promises to be a showdown for the ages. With four months to build towards the match, WWE has plenty of time to develop the storyline and create even more anticipation among fans.
Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus are scheduled to wrestle at SummerSlam.
However, it remains to be seen whether Trish Stratus will be present for the entire journey leading up to the match. Fans will have to keep checking in with Ringside News and other sources to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in this captivating wrestling storyline.
According to a Reddit post, Stratus’ heel turn was originally planned for February. Facing Lynch at Backlash was always the plan. This feud will go until Summerslam.
Original Mania plans called for Bayley & Stratus vs Lynch & Lita.
