Right, sort this madness.

Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus is literally perfect for the SummerSlam midcard. It's a marquee feud featuring top stars, and it's been built well on television by utilising Zoey Stark as collateral without totally neutering her potential. Somehow, that's led creative to lining Becks vs. Trish up for Raw a few weeks from now instead.

That flagship's in Canada, so this might be Stratus' farewell tour, but...SummerSlam is one of the biggest pay-per-views of 2023. It doesn't sit right that Trish vs. Becky has been bumped, and some crummy Battle Royal (with an as-yet-unannounced number of workers) is seemingly on the main card in its place.

Surely that should be the TV fodder and one of the biggest female rivalries in the biz should get the premium nod? There's still time for WWE to rethink this one, and to convince Trish that SummerSlam > Raw in Winnipeg.

Come on now, everyone. See some sense!
