Trish Stratus on a Possible Return: ‘Cody Isn’t The Only One With An Unfinished Story’

Stratus is the subject of tonight’s Biography: WWE Legends episode on A&E

“Cody isn’t the only one with an unfinished story,” said Stratus. “I loved being back as a special guest in Toronto at Money in the Bank. And who knows, if I can still go, I’ll still keep going. I’ll never half-ass it. If fans are interested and it can influence another generation, then we’ll see.”

“Before I left, I wanted that cage match,” said Stratus. “SummerSlam was in a stadium, so we wouldn’t have had the cage, and we would have been looking at 8-10 minutes. So I was happy to do it at Payback in a cage.

“I know people had thought the ‘dream matches’ were with Charlotte and Mercedes [Sasha], but I loved working with Becky, too. I wanted to go back as a heel, and it ended up working out so well for us.”

“I went to work and did my best,” said Stratus. “Getting the call for the Hall of Fame, that hit me. I didn’t realize what I was creating retrospectively. That was a reminder that we did make a difference and that people were impacted by that.

“During the first women’s Royal Rumble, I kept hearing different women saying that I influenced them to get in the business. That was incredibly impactful. Looking back, it’s amazing to see how we influenced the business.”

“When Zoey got introduced, I was very pleased with that,” said Stratus. “The chance to influence someone else’s career, it means a lot. She was great to work with and she loved to learn–and there is more to the story between me and Zoey Stark.”

Is there an obvious unfinished story i'm not picking up on, or is it just her being vague and to garner interest.

Not really, I imagine "finish the story" has just become the way you say you wanna have another run

 

[Dale]

That's what I assumed.

 

[Samoa Looch]

Stay away, Trish. You don't have an unfinished story. Let this generation have the spotlight it deserves... especially with most of them being able to work laps around you.

 

[Chris]

Nah I liked her last run, if it's something else like that then I'm cool with it. Only problem is I feel like it's a gamble if you'll get one of those each time you come back and it just takes one eh to start that cycle of needing to come back "just one more time" to redeem it bc you think you can

 

[Cwalker]

We've really bastardized "finishing the story"

Goldberg

Goldberg

Taker was the worst offender of it, he even admitted he had the mindset exactly lol it's like if your last match sucked you want to redeem it and if your last match was good you think you can have another, he finally realized he was stuck in that

 

[Dale]

WarGames is in Canada I suppose..

 

[Cwalker]

The pop Sami gonna get

 

[Shane]

“Thank you Trish” was amazing tbh.

I think it’s only offensive if you can’t still go which Taker and Goldberg couldn’t. Trish proved she still could.

 

[Dale]

Trish proved she still could.

Which is Chris' whole point. What if she comes back and she just has a complete dud of a run, then you're left chasing the dragon.

I’ve always been a Trish fan and enjoyed her last run very much, the cage match with Becky was great. I wouldn’t be against one last run from her, there’s still unfinished business between her and Zoey Stark.
