Trish Stratus just out even more warnings to WWE superstars, so we’ll see what she
had to say there.
We’ll also check out who’s giving Rey Mysterio a warning, CM Punk’s visit to Monday
Night Raw, and much more
Let’s start things off with everything related to Trish Stratus
Trish Stratus is just beginning what very well could be her final run as a WWE superstar
Trish first retired back in the mid 2000s, but she would always pop up every few years
to have some short programs in WWE
Her last big program before this year was back in 2019
Charlotte Flair took on Trish Stratus in Toronto at Summerslam that year
It was like another farewell retirement match for Trish Stratus
But even after that match, Trish continued to say that she did have one big idea left
that she was pitching to WWE that she would come back for, and that idea was for a heel
turn
And a few years later, we see that Trish Stratus got exactly what she wanted, she’s starting
this final run as a heel
Having these legendary superstars portray the heel role this late in their careers is
always a challenge because they’re icons in the business, everyone just wants to naturally
cheer for them and appreciate them
Sort of like Edge’s 2022 heel turn, it never really got off the ground and was ultimately
scrapped because it just didn’t work out
So it may still be a challenge for Trish’s heel turn for similar reasons, she’s just
so legendary and means so much to the business that it’ll be hard to boo her, but Trish’s
heel run does look promising and looks like they already have major plans set in stone
Trish came back and was secretly evil the entire time, plotting against Becky Lynch
due to Trish’s jealously and worry that fans and Becky were trying to erase Trish
from history
So Trish took that personally and is now back full time to remind everyone who she is, what
she’s done, and what’s she’s still capable of doing
The climax of this current heel run for Trish Stratus is rumored to be at Summerslam 2023,
where she is highly expected to face Becky Lynch
So it’s a nice long term story that will run from current day and conclude on august
5th at Summerslam
Trish may not be on every single episode of Raw until then, but everyone expects her appearances
to definitely be a bit more frequent and sprinkled in until that big showdown finale with Becky
Lynch at Summerslam
So with Trish basically being around again on a more regular basis for most of spring
and summer, this has fans wondering what other Trish Stratus Dream matches we will see during
this run
Trish Stratus was recently a guest on Corey Graves’ After The Bell podcast and he asked
Trish if she would consider going after the Raw or Smackdown women’s championships
Trish Stratus had this to say in response to that question of coming after the gold
once more, quote:
“Pretty high.
I guess the odds could be high.
Do I look good in gold?
Yes I do.
Do I represent well?
Yes, I do.
Can I do your press conference?
Yes, I can.”
End quote
Trish then went onto share her thoughts on the current champions, Rhea Ripley and Bianca
Belair, she had this to say about the two of them, quote:
“I'm loving watching the development, because for me, it was about being this valet, but
then having a character, developing, and getting to know her as a character, and then watching
her in her role, and I've seen this with Rhea Ripley.
It's been wonderful to watch.
She's pretty special and I'm so happy to see where she's at.
Bianca, she's someone special.
She's so athletic.
I feel like she's someone that is born to do what she does.
It's so natural and so effortless.
I love seeing her.
She's a great champion.
I mean, could I dethrone her?
Maybe?
Probably, but I enjoy watching her.
I think they're both great and also both beautiful."

Trish Stratus is putting it out there, she may even challenge for one of the women’s
titles sometime here in the coming months
So hopefully that’s how it plays out, hopefully we get to see a handful of Trish Stratus matches
before she hangs up the boots again later this summer
So be on the lookout for Trish being extremely active here in the coming months

Another big story over the last few days has been Chavo Guerrero’s comments Rey Mysterio
Everyone knows how close Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero were in real life
And ever since Eddie’s passing, no one has tried to keep Eddie’s legacy alive more
than Rey Mysterio
Rey has put on a countless amounts of tributes to Eddie and the Guerrero family over the
last few years
There’s even been some big tributes to Eddie Guerrero in the last few weeks
The biggest tribute being from Rey Mysterio at Wrestlemania 39, where he came out in one
of Eddie’s signatures low-riders, plus Eddie’s theme song
Plus Rey even reformed the LWO, a faction that Eddie was a part of during his career
And now, WWE has even added Eddie’s voice to the beginning of the LWO’s theme song
So just so many great little tributes to Eddie have been popping up in recent weeks
But Eddie’s nephew and former WWE superstar, Chavo Guerrero, made headlines when he said
that he wishes that Rey Mysterio and WWE would stop milking Eddie Guerrero’s name and profiting
off of it
Chavo had this to saying during a virtual signing, quote:
“I’m tired of people — and this is not a bitter thing, this is the truth.
We worked hard for that last name.
This whole family worked really, really hard to get that name to where it was and we’re
tired of people using it for their benefit.
So Rey Mysterio, I’m sorry that no one knows who Rey Mysterio Sr. is, Rey Mysterio Jr.
No one knows who he is and I’m sorry that you have to latch on to the Guerrero family
and we’re just kind of tired of it so, thank you for keeping Eddie’s name alive, thank
you for keeping the Guerrero name alive but we don’t need you, we’re good, you know
what I’m saying?”
End quote
Chavo’s remarks absolutely took the community by storm and he continued to double down with
a series of tweets that were all related to his previous comments
But when things started to get out of hand, Chavo revealed that he was just playing around
in character and was just talking like a heel
Some people did figure that Chavo was just talking in character, but a lot of people
were unsure, so it was great that he cleared up the mass confusion that was going on there.

It’s a headline no wrestling fan expected to hear in 2023, but CM Punk was backstage
at the April 24th edition of Monday Night Raw in Chicago, Illinois
PW-Insider reports that CM Punk showed up at the All-State arena, the same arena where
he had some big WWE moments, such as defeating John Cena for the WWE title at Money In the
Bank 2011, to visit
Punk reportedly met and spoke with plenty of his old friends and WWE superstars
The report claims that Punk spent a lot of time with The Miz, and settling the issues
they had with each other dating back to several years ago
It was also reported that CM Punk spent time with Triple H, squashing their previous issues
with each other
CM Punk was hanging around backstage until he was ultimately asked to leave at the request
of Vince McMahon
Punk understood and quickly left after being asked to leave
The reason why Punk was asked to leave is because Punk is obviously under contract with
AEW, and Vince McMahon definitely wants to avoid any potential legal troubles there with
Punk being backstage at a WWE show
CM Punk is rumored to be making his AEW return sometime in this upcoming Summer, but everyone
is definitely finding it quite interesting that Punk is also trying to squash all of
the issues he had with WWE
So the future will definitely be interesting here for CM Punk
