The WWE is well known for mining its past to help the current roster, and with Lita and Trish Stratus returning things are going to get very interesting again.
While how long Stratus’ current run will be with the company is still unknown, there’s a rumor out there that she’s going to turn heel at or after WrestleMania 39 and enter into a feud with Becky Lynch through SummerSlam.
Currently, Stratus is slated to team with the Women’s Tag Team Champions Lita and Lynch against Bayley and Damage CTRL at WrestleMania 39, so that would be an extended run we haven’t seen from Legends recently.
Of course, it’s just a rumor at this point and putting any more stock in it than that would only get our hopes up, but it would be a pretty cool dream feud.
Why the turn?
Stratus has been a fan favorite for over twenty years as she was an iconic face and helped trailblaze the women’s division alongside Lita and many others, so a heel turn would be a pretty cool event and would divide the fans in what would be an intense and fun online and live exchange.
The reason for the turn will most likely be a slow burn as we’re still a couple of weeks away from WrestleMania, but the seeds could have been planted on this week’s WWE Raw (March 13).
Lita and Lynch weren’t around when Damage CTRL and Bayley attacked and beat down Stratus backstage, though that’s something that’s a regular occurrence.
We often see heels try to separate their foes to take them out, and afterwards Stratus was in a fighting mood and called them out by saying she’s been hit harder than that.
Still, if the attacks continue and Lynch is not around for some reason or she prevents Lita from helping, Stratus could start feeling like she’s along and her partners and friends aren’t helping her after she played a hand in their winning the tag titles.
With a couple of occurrences leading up to WrestleMania, they could have a falling out during their match where Lynch doesn’t see she’s in trouble when trying to tag out or passes her over to tag in Lita.
It would start to form a rift between Stratus and Lita, and when Lynch tries to restore peace she’ll become the target of Stratus’ frustration.
The best heel turns come when he person turning isn’t evil or trying to destroy someone, but a close friend that’s had enough of being overshadowed or feels neglected.
