Trish Stratus WWE Royal Rumble Return Detail You May Have Missed WWE

Trish Stratus returned to the ring at the February 1, 2025, WWE Royal Rumble and there was a detail that some may have missed.

The WWE Hall of Famer’s appearance would be cut short by Nia Jax who eliminated Stratus after 13m 13s in the Women’s Royal Rumble match.

Speaking to Byron Saxton in a WWE Digital Exclusive interview that can be seen below this news story, we’d also get details of a throwback to the start of Stratus’ time in WWE.

Confirming Byron Saxton’s suspicions that her gear was an intentional throwback to the attire she wore on Sunday Night Heat in 2000, the WWE Hall of Famer said:

“Correct. Good eye. I just felt like we’re kicking off the twenty-fifth anniversary of my career which is huge for me.

“I feel honored to still be coming back and doing that, dipping my toes into the current landscape and then, yeah, I thought it was kind of a neat way to come back to this moment and do a little call back.

“I like the little callbacks, I know you guys do, too.”

Reflecting on her time in the WWE Women’s Royal Rumble match, Stratus would comment on seeing the women in the ring with stars from NXT and TNA Wrestling.

She would go on to say that she feels “honored and humbled” to be in the ring with the women’s wrestlers.

Stratus would note that her plans to go to WWE WrestleMania 41 were stopped by Nia Jax, with the Hall of Famer commenting on her imposing presence.

Ahead of the Royal Rumble, Stratus had commented on her twenty-fifth anniversary year, wondering how she could top the 2023 WWE Payback Steel Cage match against Becky Lynch.
