Trish Stratus, one of WWE’s most notable figures, has expressed her interest in squaring off against Mercedes Mone. During a discussion on this potential match-up, Stratus said she was open to the idea during a recent interview on “The Takedown” podcast.
In this conversation, Stratus reminisced about their brief interaction at the Royal Rumble. She noted that despite their encounter, they have never actually had a match against each other.
In her words, “I really think people never thought I’d ever come back for another match. After the Royal Rumble, it was enough. It was a sizzle real, so to speak, of Trish Stratus and Stratusfaction, which is not easy to pull off, but like, ‘All right. You still got it,’ whatever. But to think of, can she come back after how many years to do a match like 17 years after my retirement, whatever the crazy number is, which is wild, yeah, but then [Mone] left.”
The question of her possibly joining AEW for this match was posed to Stratus, to which she decisively responded, “No, I really am a WWE girl all the way, I really am.”
During the same interview, she reflected on the milestones of her hall-of-fame-worthy WWE career, and potential future steps as she approaches her 25-year anniversary with WWE.
