WWE legend Trish Stratus has announced her comeback in wrestling. Around four years back, she retired from the game after to Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam in 2019. The Canadian wrestler nabbed a record seven Women’s Championships during her run with WWE. Meanwhile, while announcing her return, she said that the game against Flair was a generational faceoff. Stratus added that she had no regrets retiring after the game.

“I don’t think it was a conscious choice to go back and say, ‘I have more in me.’ The Charlotte match was a perfect ending. It was a generational faceoff: The best of that generation against who they say is the best of my generation. It was in Toronto and absolutely perfect, and for that to bring closure, I was very satisfied with that. But then having these little interactions at live events, it was fun to have that generational mix-up. When I retired, I said I’d return if it was fun… and maybe not to pass the torch necessarily but to influence a new generation," Stratus said while explaining her decision.

I have a great relationship with the WWE: Trish Stratus

The legendary wrestler further added that she was in communication with the WWE for a while. She revealed that she was asked whether she could make a comeback.

“I’ve been speaking with WWE for a little while now about doing a little something because I did the live events. There’s always ideas thrown at me. Once they saw me get in there with the girls, it becomes ‘This could be something.’ I have a great relationship with WWE, so we’ve always talked. ‘Would you come back?’ ‘Yeah, if there’s a right moment.’ If the right moment is challenging and I can touch another generation and make a difference, that would be great, and those boxes would have to be checked.”
