In the world of WWE, women wrestlers are rising to the top with every punch and flip, delivering eye-grabbing storylines that keep fans on the edge of their seats. Among the trailblazers of women’s wrestling, Trish Stratus shines as a WWE Hall of Famer, renowned for her spectacular performances in the 2000s before retiring as one of the biggest stars in the women’s division. On the other side of the ring, “The Man” herself, Becky Lynch, stands tall as a current WWE superstar, making history as one of the first women to headline WrestleMania.
While these two wrestling icons have been at each other’s throats in an intense feud, there might be a cheeky twist behind the scenes. WWE fans were expecting a heated rematch between Trish and Becky at SummerSlam. But much to their disappointment, WWE dropped the match from the lineup. Recently Stratus shared a post on her story, leaving fans surprised.
