The big heel turn from Trish Stratus that everyone
was waiting on finally happened, so let’s take a look at what went down there
This entire situation started when Becky Lynch was getting outnumbered against Damage Control
She just couldn’t beat the odds against Bayley and Damage Control and she had no help
at all against them
This led to Lita making a surprise return to assist Becky Lynch against Damage Control
But they still needed more help and that led to Trish Stratus making her return and helping
Becky and Lita balance out the odds and win the tag team titles from Damage Control
And in the weeks that followed that tag team title victory, it was clear that the legendary,
iconic Trish Stratus was basically just acting as the third wheel to Becky Lynch and Lita
Becky Lynch is the big star that’s in the prime of her career, Lita is one half of the
tag team champions, but Trish Stratus was basically the afterthought of their entire
run as a trio
And this was something that The Miz touched on before Wrestlemania, he asked Trish and
Lita how they felt about playing backup to Becky Lynch and standing in Becky’s shadow
Lita responded by saying that she doesn’t feel like a backup because she was holding
onto championship gold
However, Trish Stratus never gave The Miz a response to that question and that’s where
the heel turning suspicions really started to get serious for Trish
She didn’t answer that question because she probably agreed with The Miz, she did
feel like a backup to both Becky Lynch and Lita, and she wasn’t that pleased about
that fact at all
And then at Wrestlemania 39, same sort of thing
Becky Lynch is the main center piece of their Wrestlemania entrance and Becky even picks
up the pinfall win at Wrestlemania as well, all things that were continuing to build up
and boil inside of Trish Stratus
And that’s what got us to the April 10th edition of Raw
Becky Lynch and Lita were set to defend their tag team titles against Liv Morgan and Raquel
Rodriguez, and fans were already expecting Becky and Lita to drop the titles in this
spot because obviously Lita isn’t sticking around full time, so it seemed like a perfect
spot for them to drop the titles at
But there was an unexpected twist here, Lita ends up getting mysteriously attacked backstage,
leaving Becky Lynch all alone for the match
Becky said that she was ready to defend the titles on her own, but that someone approached
her with a good idea, and that individual was Trish Stratus
Trish said that she and Becky made a good team at Wrestlemania and she wanted to step
in for Lita to defend the titles, and Adam Pearce made it official
The big mystery here is that no one knows who attacked Lita
Becky Lynch said that she had her own suspicions, but she didn’t name any specific names
The only real number one suspect here is obviously Trish Stratus, which deepens and darkens the
story if it really was her
Everyone basically saw Trish turning on Becky coming, but for Trish Stratus to take out
her longtime best friend, Lita, right before a big title defense is pretty insane
And it shows that Trish wasn’t jealous of just Becky Lynch, she was jealous of Lita
as well
So maybe this was all part of Trish’s plan, take out Lita and step up to take her spot
to defend those titles
So we get to the match and it features a shocking finish
Becky Lynch tags in a fresh Trish Stratus, Trish is sizing Liv Morgan up for her signature
kick but Liv dodges out the way and rolls Trish Stratus up to win the tag team titles
A big fan theory that’s also coming from this moment right here is if Trish Stratus
purposely threw the match to cost Becky and Lita the titles
Fans are saying this because Trish Stratus was fresh off that tag, she didn’t take
any damage at all, Liv just ducked out of the way and Trish was pinned for the three
count?
Fans just feel like Trish definitely could’ve kicked out if she wanted to because she was
still fresh off that tag, it had only been a few seconds since she was tagged in, so
did Liv legitimately pull a fast one on Trish, or did Trish decide simply not to kick out
as a way to screw Becky and Lita over even more?
Watching the roll up back several times, you can basically lean in either direction
You can make an argument that Trish just lost her balance and got pinned legitimately, or
you can argue that Trish definitely could’ve kicked out, but didn’t even make an attempt
to kick out
But either way, Becky Lynch picks Trish Stratus up from the ground, and Trish just slams Becky
Lynch right back down, officially turning heel on Becky Lynch
Bryon Saxton attempted to get an interview with Trish Stratus, but she just kept walking
by and didn’t say a single word
So there you have it, Trish Stratus had enough and finally snapped on Becky Lynch
But you do have to wonder if Becky Lynch was aware and saw this coming the entire time
Becky Lynch is a super smart character and like she even alluded to backstage, she did
have her suspicions about who did the attack
So you already know that the attack on Lita will be another focal point of this story
going forward
Maybe that’s something that Becky Lynch can touch on in a future promo, maybe she’ll
say that she was suspicious of Trish Stratus in recent weeks, or maybe Becky can say that
she really had no clue and didn’t see it coming
But when it comes to Lita’s attacker, Trish Stratus is the only name that make sense
You can’t really say Damage Control was behind it because they’re off doing their
own thing and going through their own breakup storyline
So having that reveal of Trish being the one that attacked Lita will really just lay it
on thick and get the fans to really go against Trish Stratus
It doesn’t get more dirty and grimy than brutally attacking your best friend backstage
and costing them a big opportunity
So the reveal of Lita’s attacker should be showed in the coming weeks for sure
We’ll also likely get Trish’s explanation on why she pretty much attacked both Lita
and Becky Lynch on the same night
It was also originally reported that Becky Lynch versus Trish Stratus would be a big
Summerslam matchup
So it’ll be interesting to see if they still hold off on the match up until Summerslam
or if it’ll happen soon
And if Trish did attack Lita, it’ll also be interesting to see if we get one last singles
match between Trish Stratus and Lita, that would be something extremely special to see
if they do end up going in that direction
But If the real climax of this story really does take place at Summerslam with Becky Lynch
vs Trish Stratus, that means that it could be a a slightly long term story, so this is
really just the beginning
Trish Stratus has been pitching a heel turn idea to WWE for several years and now that
it’s finally here, you just have to imagine that Trish does wanna stretch it out and make
the most of it, so that’s exactly what we can expect from Trish in the near future
It looks like her direction will be about a legendary WWE Hall Of Fame superstar that
feels disrespected by the fans and other current superstars for pushing her into the shadows
Like even with their entrance together on the April 10th edition of Raw, Trish gets
her music played for a few seconds before it’s cut off and they make the majority
of their entrance to Becky’s music
These are all little things that have been building up and led to that moment of Trish
Stratus turning on Becky Lynch
But are you looking forward to Trish and Becky meeting one on one in the ring?
