Heading into the Royal Rumble this year it was rumored that Trish Stratus could be returning for the women’s Royal Rumble, and she did just that when the Hall of Famer entered the match at number 25.
Ahead of the Royal Rumble, Trish Stratus spoke with Screen Rant about the introduction of the new championships for the women’s division, and she offered some advice to current WWE Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green.
“I would tell Chelsea Green to stop being such a b***h. That might help. You know, people really dislike her, and sometimes in life, you won’t get far if you’re disliked, you know? You may become US Champion but a lot of people don’t like you and people want friends. So Chelsea Green, if you want friends, stop being a b***h.”
Stratus also praised current WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria when she added, “And Lyra is awesome, and I’m so excited to see her get this opportunity. I feel like she came in with a bang and I was waiting for the momentum. It felt like it stopped a little bit. I think this is a great way to catapult her and just continue the momentum that she deserves.”
While Trish did return to the ring at the Royal Rumble it’s not clear if there are any plans for her to be more involved with WWE during WrestleMania season this year. Following her elimination from the Royal Rumble, Trish said “maybe” when Byron Saxton asked if we’ll be seeing more of her soon, so it will be interesting to see if she returns at some point during WrestleMania season.
