10 New Directions For WWE After Payback 2023

10. Trish Stratus Taking Time Off

Thank you, Trish.

The iconic female star offered Stratusfaction by the bucketload during her renaissance run in WWE. She's been a real breathe of fresh air as a heel, and capped things off with a stunning cage effort vs. Becky Lynch at Payback. Now, post-defeat and split from protege Zoey Stark, Trish can take a breather.

Fingers crossed this isn't the last fans see of her though - the legend is still in tremendous shape, and she proved that by showing off her athleticism tenfold inside the cage. Being honest, this was one of Stratus' best matches ever, and she should be very proud of it.

Will it be her swan song? Perhaps, but it's obvious Trish still has something to offer this roster. Matches against other, younger stars could be make or break for some careers, and they'd be a real treat at tentpole events like Survivor Series, Royal Rumble or WrestleMania.

Don't stay gone for long, Stratus!
