10 Ups & 6 Downs For WWE In 2023 (So Far)
8. Stratusfaction Guaranteed
Speaking of SummerSlam - Trish Stratus is likely heading for another collision with pal-turned-rival Becky Lynch in Detroit. Turning the legend heel on Becks and Lita after WrestleMania was a risk, because fans might've rebelled against booing a cherished Hall Of Famer.
Nope, they've embraced it, and Trish is having the time of her life.
Stratus' performances have been so watertight that WWE top brass got the reactions they craved from this turn. Better yet, Trish's heel run has given former NXT star Zoey Starks a much-needed boost on the main roster. There's clearly more to come from this union too, which is great.
Anybody who had Stratus down as a possible MVP performer in the women's division for 2023 would've been lying. Most believed she'd come back for one match, then stroll off back to her yoga studio. To her credit, Trish is out here working bangers and elevating new names.
