The ongoing feud between Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus will continue next week through Stratus' proxy and mentee Zoey Stark, who will face The Man on WWE Raw.

Lynch has been tangling with Stratus since the week after WrestleMania 39, when Trish filled in for an injured Lita to defend the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship and ended up losing. Trish turned on Becky afterward, and Lynch has been trying to exact revenge ever since, losing at Night of Champions thanks to Stark's interference.

During Money in the Bank on Saturday night, Trish appeared to have busted her nose, and she was seen Monday sporting a very similar face mask like she wore years ago as a heel. Claiming to not be medically cleared to wrestle, Stratus offered up her protégé Stark instead, with the match set for next week.

Stark's first couple weeks on the main roster threatened to make her a bland heel with a cool Z-360 finisher, but her pairing with Trish has elevated Zoey, giving her a bigger platform and more material to sink her teeth into.

Hopefully, Stark and Lynch will get a chance to shine before we get Stratus interference or a distraction to "put Zoey over" takes place, but no one really gets over.
