The feud that won't end looks like it finally has an end in sight.

Trish Stratus accepted Becky Lynch's challenge for a rematch to their Night of Champions contest on Raw Monday night, but only if a couple conditions are met. Stratus has been avoiding a one-on-one encounter with Lynch since enlisting the help of Zoey Stark, who cost Becky the NOC match. Since then, Stark has gone on to defeat Lynch on last week's Raw.

Monday, after being goaded by an irate Becky, Trish laid out some ground rules to get the rematch: Lynch must beat Stark in a rematch. If Zoey wins, Becky must get on her knees and say, "Thank you Trish," then get those words tattooed across her chest. (So it's really one stipulation Lynch has to meet to get the rematch, with consequences if she fails).

The feud between The Man and the Hall-of-Famer has underwhelmed quite a bit, with Trish's heel turn leading to some lukewarm (at best) promos and muted responses. Stark has gained a bigger spotlight than she was when she was tormenting Nikki Cross backstage, but she's all-but-certain to lose next week to set up a SummerSlam rematch between Stratus and Lynch.
