Trish Stratus may not have left WWE Evolution with her eighth Women’s Championship, but she has teased her future plans in her post-show comments.
The Hall of Famer faced Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship at the July 13 all-women’s premium live event, but was unable to end the younger star’s reign.
Speaking during the WWE Evolution post-show, Stratus opened up about her future after her first singles match since September 2023.
Stratus said:
“I have that thought like, ‘Is this the last time? It could be.’
“The WWE Universe has been so wonderful to me and so supportive. I just feel so blessed to dip my toes into the current landscape.”
June 2000 marked the in-ring debut of Trish Stratus, which saw her team with Test & Albert against the Hardy Boyz and Lita, having appeared as a valet.
Looking at her history in WWE, Stratus would also talk about a potential future for her as an in-ring competitor, stating:
“It’s been 20 years. Is it 2005? Like, what the heck. It’s never lost on me how lucky I am to know we built; me, Ivory, Jackie, the girls you saw in the audience. Lita, of course, Mickie.
“We built the foundation that they built a skyscraper on. Now that I get to come back and dip into that skyscraper, I feel blessed.
“I always have the worry, ‘I have to make sure I can hang with these girls.’ I watch the girls and I’m like (stammering).
“I want to knock down the preconceived notions about maybe there is no expiration date until you say it is. It’s not over until you say it’s over.”
In the days before WWE Evolution, Stratus noted the quick turnaround on her feud with Stratton, going on to state that she felt a TV segment between the pair was “very boring.”
