While the match started inside the ring, it soon spilled over. Relentless, both superstars were nor afraid to trade blows outside the ring as several fans cheered them on. With Lynch having the upper hand, a sneak attack from Zoey Stark, Stratus’ trusted aide, snatched it away.
The rookie and the Hall of Famer attacked The Man together, leaving her battered.
At backstage, WWE’s Director of Live Events, Adam Pearce had a confrontation with both Stratus and her accomplice. The 45-year-old was miffed with Stark’s involvement in the August 14 bout. As a measure, he sanctioned a steel cage match between Lynch and Stratus.
This isn’t the first time Stark has played a pivotal role in handing Stratus a win against Lynch. She had also cost the former RAW Women’s Champion her match at Night of Champions in May.
Meanwhile, this particular announcement left opinions divided amongst fans.

But not everyone had the same level of excitement. In the recent past, the feud has fallen out of favor with fans. This comment perfectly states why fans are not in favor of another match featuring the two women superstars.

There have been complaints already regarding the ongoing feud featuring the two superstars. It was particularly criticized after WWE didn’t slot the feud in their SummerSlam PLE on August 5. Some fans said that the rivalry was becoming stale and urged the promotion to stop it.
Are we still extending the Trish Stratus vs Becky Lynch feud? I hope the steel cage ends it.
