Jimmy Korderas Says WWE Missed Huge Opportunity With Trish Stratus On Road To WrestleMania

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus last wrestled at the 2019 SummerSlam pay-per-view event where she lost to Charlotte Flair in under 17 minutes.

In his latest Reffin’ Rant video, longest-tenured WWE referee Jimmy Korderas discussed Stratus helping Lita and Becky Lynch win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships this week on Monday Night RAW. Korderas noted that while Stratus may have done a noble act, WWE missed a remarkable opportunity with ‘The Quintessential Diva’ on the Road To WrestleMania. He said,

“As we saw on Monday Night Raw, we have new women’s tag team champions, but was the timing right for this to happen on Monday night? Hmmm. Becky Lynch and Hall of Famer Lita teamed up to beat Damage CTRL to become the new tag team champions with the help of Trish Stratus, another WWE Hall of Famer, and yes, the help from Trish Stratus was very good, but the pop that she got there in Grand Rapids, Michigan wasn’t as big as it probably would’ve been last week if this were to happen in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Maybe the thought process was Trish’s appearance would’ve overshadowed the title victory? I don’t know what it is, but sometimes missed opportunities are missed opportunities, and I think maybe last week would have been a better time to bring back Trish because you would have got that huge pop to set up WrestleMania for what’s going to happen.”

Stratus was backstage at RAW in Ottawa, Canada this past month, and the idea was to use her on live television, but she didn’t appear. Instead, Stratus made an appearance on RAW in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

In today's #ReffinRant getting a surprise return leading to new women's tag champs on Mon was a cool moment but would the reaction have been different if it was done the week prior? #StaySafe pic.twitter.com/RS9aWP2gaz
