WWE are kicking up the hype-drive for SummerSlam, and the latest word is that a Hall of Famer will be competing on what is traditionally the company's second biggest show of the year.

According to Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, Trish Stratus is said to be in talks with WWE regarding a singles match at the summer pay-per-view, which emanates from her hometown of Toronto.

There is no further information on the precise nature of her bout, but we received a huge hint on last night's episode of SmackDown. Charlotte Flair cut a promo in which she vowed to prove she is the greatest female superstar of all time come 11 August's show, demanding to be put on the card at any cost.

After the episode, Flair dropped another hint on social media, Tweeting that she is the queen of all eras of women's wrestling. Including, you know, the one in which Trish was considered the finest.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
