During a recent episode of the podcast “Ring The Belle”, WWE superstar Trish Stratus unveiled that her 2005 rivalry with Lita was originally meant to culminate in a headline match at WrestleMania 21.
Unfortunately, the originally planned match couldn’t come to fruition due to Lita experiencing an ACL injury during their match at New Year’s Revolution.
In her conversation, Stratus shared, “I’m not believing that we’re going to be in the main event that day, I for sure am not believing that there was any validity to the rumor. But that would have made sense with me being involved in the TLC matches.”
Further, she stated, “The WrestleMania match is what we were working towards. WrestleMania season began in January, we were working towards a WrestleMania match.”
Even then, Stratus made a strong showing at WrestleMania 21 by defending the WWE Women’s Championship against Christy Hemme.
In more recent WWE news, the forthcoming episode of WWE SmackDown will feature a match between Solo Sikoa and LA Knight, as revealed by Nick Aldis on Twitter.
