Trish Stratus has one big demand for WWE, so we’ll see what she had to say.
We’ll also check out what’s going on with Shotzi, The Rock, and much more
Let’s start things off with Trish Stratus
Trish made her return to WWE earlier this year, a few weeks before Wrestlemania 39
At first, she appeared to be in a supporting role to Becky Lynch and Lita, only being there
as backup against Bayley and Damage Control
But as we quickly discovered, Trish Stratus had a much bigger goal that she was there
to accomplish
Trish Stratus fully took out her former best friend Lita, and Lita hasn’t been seen in
WWE ever since that attack from Trish took place
And in the months since that all went down, Trish Stratus has been also trying to take
out Becky Lynch
Trish did say several years ago that she wanted to have one last major run as a heel and how
she had a vision for it.
It seems like her 2023 WWE run has fulfilled that goal
Trish Stratus recently spoke with TVA Sports and she mentioned another big goal that she
has for herself before she truly hangs up the boots for good, Trish had this to say
about her other goal, quote:
“Imprison me in a cage.
I’ve never had a cage match!
And it doesn’t matter what kind of cage.
The one without the roof, a Hell in a Cell, or an Elimination Chamber.
There were so many things we weren’t allowed to do back then.
I remember being hit with a chair once, and everyone was freaking out.
And I was like, ‘My goodness, can you just hit me with a chair?’
So now I want a cage!”
End quote
And Trish has a point there.
Sure, she comes from arguably one of the best eras ever in WWE history, but there was also
a lot of limitations for the women’s division back then
The women’s matches were barely getting any actual time, and things like a cage match
and all the other special stipulations were never even close to happening for the WWE
women back then
Of course that all started to change for the women’s division over these last few years
Now there’s multiple women’s titles, women’s Royal Rumble matches, women’s elimination
chamber matches, hell in a cell matches, ladder matches, women’s main events and so much
more left and right
So with Trish Stratus returning for this run, it sounds like she does wanna take advantage
of all the privileges that WWE offers the current day women’s division
And having any sort of cage match is the first thing she wants to tackle
And it may not seem like a big deal to want a cage match, but it’s something that Trish
Stratus has never took part in and was just so unheard of in her era, so she wants it
bad now that it’s a common thing
So we’ll have to see if Trish does get wish before she retires
As far as things go with Trish Stratus in current day, she appears to be in the final
stages for her feud with Becky Lynch
They’re closing in on five months of feuding with each other and since the very start of
their feud, the rumor always was that Summerslam would be where the grand finale of their feud
would take place at
There was a brief little health scare with Becky Lynch a few weeks back, but it was just
for a cyst to be removed and she appears to be ready to go for Summerslam
So chances are that we do see that grand finale for their feud at Summerslam and we’ll have
to see where both women go from there
WWE teased Becky Lynch coming after the women’s world title a few weeks back when she ran
into Rhea Ripley, so maybe that is something they can explore especially if Becky Lynch
walks out of the Trish Stratus feud with the win
And for Trish Stratus, reports have said since the spring time that Trish would be a regular
reoccurring superstar on WWE television throughout spring and summer, but no one seems to know
if Trish will be sticking to a similar schedule post-Summerslam
Will Becky Lynch just defeat Trish Stratus and she disappears after Summerslam or will
she continue to stick around and be like a special attraction for the women’s division?
We should get that answer in the weeks following Summerslam
——————-
So the Raw women’s division has their big non-title feud going on in the women’s division
with Becky versus Trish, and it looks like Smackdown could be getting its own big non-title
feud in the women’s division
Obviously, the focus of the Smackdown women’s division is everything going on with Asuka,
Bianca, and Charlotte
But Bayley and Shotzi have been getting a lot of time devoted to their feud over the
last few weeks
That story all started when Bayley costed Shotzi an opportunity to compete in the Money
In The Bank ladder match
Bayley then successfully defended her own Money In The Bank spot against Shotzi with
the help of Iyo Sky right before Money In The Bank itself
But that’s when this feud became more personal
Bayley and Iyo Sky held Shotzi down backstage while they cut a piece of her hair off
And ever since that night, Bayley has kept Shotzi’s hair as a souvenir
Bayley has posted pictures with, they’ve placed it inside Iyo’s briefcase, and have
done so much little things with the piece of hair that they cut off from Shotzi
And like we’ve seen over the years, and even as recently as 2022 with Becky Lynch,
when a superstar cuts off even a small piece of hair off another superstar, that superstar
is gonna return with a drastic new look either way
For Becky Lynch, she debuted her short hair look after getting her hair cut by Bianca
Belair
And they did the drastic new look for Shotzi, but it was done in a very unique way
Instead of Shotzi debuting a shorter hairstyle, a video package aired after Bayley’s match
that showed Shotzi shaving her entire head and teasing a more intense persona and side
to her character that’s coming for Bayley
And when that big reveal happened, a lot of fans were wondering about whose idea it was
to go with the shaved head look
Well shortly after the reveal happened on Smackdown, Shotzi took to her Instagram to
reveal that there was a much deeper real life meaning and purpose behind her shaving her
head
Shotzi’s sister is currently battling cancer and it was a way to show support to her sister
and so that she doesn’t have to go through everything alone
So the new look has a deep purpose and reasoning behind it in real life, and it also seems
like it can be a great new starting point for Shotzi’s WWE character as well
The new look pretty much gives Shotzi this clean slate feeling and fresh start for her
presentation on Smackdown
So it’ll be interesting to see where Bayley and Shotzi’s feud goes now that Shotzi has
transformed into this new edgier and grittier version of herself
But there is some concerns about when this feud could really pick up because Bayley did
just have that injury scare a few days back
Bayley said she was going to be alright, but maybe they do keep Bayley out of the ring
for a bit just to get back to one hundred percent first

Grayson Waller and The Rock made headlines for their Twitter interaction with each other,
and things picked up even more steam when Waller name dropped The Rock on the July 14th
edition of Smackdown
Waller talked directly about The Rock live on Smackdown, saying how The Rock’s entire
family is imploding every week and instead of addressing that, he’s spending his time
on Grayson Waller
So it was the first time that The Rock was really name dropped and called out on WWE
television like that in a long time
Some fans think that it was just WWE capitalizing off that Twitter interaction from earlier
in the week, while some fans are wondering if it could actually be seeds being planted
for The Rock’s WWE return
But like Waller said, it would be a bit goofy for The Rock to return to WWE to address Grayson
Waller while completely ignoring Roman Reigns and The Bloodline’s situation
So no one knows what’s going on there, but fans are wondering if the first WWE appearance
since October 2019 from The Rock could be on the horizon
