WWE SummerSlam 2023: Mega match already planned featuring Hall of Famer

WWE
Hall
of
Famer
Trish
Stratus
made
an
out-of-the-blue
return
on
Raw,
a
few
weeks
ago
to
help
her
buddy
Lita
and
Becky
Lynch
win
the
WWE
Women’s
Tag
Team
Champions
from
DAMAGE
CTRL
duo
Dakota
Kai
and
IYO
SKY.

Moving
on,
Trish
announced
that
she’s
coming
out
of
retirement
to
set
up
a
six-woman
tag
team
match
alongside
Lita
and
Becky
against
DAMAGE
CTRL
–
Bayley,
Kai,
and
SKY.
Apparently,
there’s
a
bigger
picture
in
the
ongoing
storyline.

As
reported
in
recent
times,
Trish
Stratus
was
originally
supposed
to
turn
heel
to
set
up
a
singles
contest
against
Becky
Lynch
for
WrestleMania
39.
According
to
WRKD
Wrestling
on
Twitter,
this
feud
is
still
reserved
to
result
in
a
legendary
match
at
SummerSlam.

“The
long-term
plan,
as
of
this
moment,
is
that
Trish
Stratus
will
turn
heel
and
work
a
program
with
Becky
Lynch
through
SummerSlam.”

During
the
night
of
Trish
Stratus’ return
on
Raw,
DAMAGE
CTRL
leader
Bayley
was
interfering
in
the
women’s
tag
title
match
in
an
attempt
to
assist
her
tag
partners
in
retaining
the
gold.

This
led
the
seven-time
women’s
champion
to
make
a
shocking
return
which
automatically
made
the
fans
believe
that
Trish
vs.
Bayley
was
in-store
for
WrestleMania.

On
the
other
hand,
Becky
Lynch
and
Lita
were
previously
scheduled
to
defend
their
tag
titles
against
Ronda
Rousey
and
Shayna
Baszler.
Due
to
Rousey’s
arm
injury,
that
match
was
converted
into
the
above-mentioned
tag
team
affair.

However,
reports
do
confirm
that
there’re
a
lot
of
‘twists
&
turns’
waiting
on
the
Road
to
WrestleMania
39,
especially
in
this
ongoing
storyline
which
should
lead
to
witnessing
the
dream
bout
between
THE
MAN
and
The
Quintessential
WWE
Diva
at
SummerSlam
2023.

It
was
at
the
biggest
event
of
the
summer
where
Trish
admittedly
had
her
final
singles
match
against
Charlotte
Flair
in
her
hometown
of
Toronto,
Ontario,
Canada,
four
years
ago.
But
she
was
always
willing
to
lace
up
her
boots
for
some
dream
matches.

Via
an
official
press
release
in
early
February,
the
2023
WWE
SummerSlam
premium
Live
Event
was
announced
for
Saturday,
August
5
from
the
Ford
Field
in
Detroit,
Michigan.
The
official
poster
for
the
event
is
yet
to
be
released.
