It appears WWE Hall of Famer and former Women's Champion Trish Stratus could be making a surprise return at the 2021 Royal Rumble, if a since-deleted Instagram post from Natalya is anything to go by.

On Saturday night, just 24 hours before the event itself, the #30 entrant into the Women's Royal Rumble posted an image on her Instagram story alongside Stratus, tagging the star and writing "Can't wait for this Sunday!" before deleting the story soon after.

Stratus hasn't performed in a WWE ring since battling Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam 2019, a match she lost to 'The Queen'. The iconic wrestler also appeared in the inaugural 2018 Women's Royal Rumble, entering at #30 on the night. Yet, she hasn't appeared in the other two versions of the bout in the years that have followed.

Whether or not Stratus will be in attendance tonight is anyone's guess, but this post seems to suggest the veteran talent will be involved in some capacity. Or perhaps this could just be Natalya's way of throwing fans off the scent of a potential Ronda Rousey or Becky Lynch return?
