Believe it or not, Trish Stratus is one of few legends WWE should call upon to pad out the women's Rumble on 31 January. Previously, the likes of Molly Holly, Michelle McCool and countless others were wheeled out to get nostalgia pops and ensure creative didn't need to think too long and hard about who entered where.

Trish will always get a reaction; we know that by now. She's one of the most treasured legends going, and is considered a real matriarch of the women's division. Come Saudi, Stratus wouldn't need to knock her pan in by going 30+ minutes though.

That's a long haul flight for just 10 mins, but meh - Trish would likely be cool with it. She knows her role, and it'd be a feather in someone like Blake Monroe's cap if she was booked to eliminate a veteran like Stratus.
