Trish Stratus might be "retired" from professional wrestling, but her Twitter activity had fans speculating on a potential dream match with Sasha Banks yesterday.

Stratus posted the following video hyping "20 years of Stratusfaction." No photos or clips from her epic WWE career were shown... except one:-

Banks and Stratus engaged in an electric Royal Rumble showdown back in 2018, generating monstrous hype for a potential match between the two. This never came to pass, though Trish's new video has the internet buzzing once more, despite Stratus supposedly stepping away from the squared circle following her SummerSlam 2019 loss to Charlotte Flair.

That Stratus mentions 19 March is interesting. It was on that date back in 2000 that she debuted on an episode of Sunday Night Heat, though 19 March falls on a Thursday this year. That means no episode of Raw or SmackDown. WWE is holding a live event in Mobile, Alabama that night, but would they really blow something like Stratus vs. Banks on a house show?

Either way, this is just a tease at the moment and should be treated as such. It's an extremely exciting prospect, though.
