SheWhen Becky Lynch won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships alongside Lita, this irked Trish Stratus. Being perhaps the biggest name of her era of WWE, Stratus felt overlooked by Lynch, perhaps even disrespected.
At WrestleMania 39, she was victorious alongside Lita & Lynch, but quickly showed her true colours as she injured Lita, costed them their championships, and tried to injury Lynch. Now tonight, she will face Lynch one on one – in a generational dream match.

Gunther Looks To Continue Historic Reign
For the past 351 days, Gunther has been a force to be reckoned with as the WWE Intercontinental Champion. Bringing glory back to the championship with hard hitting title defences, The Ring General has taken down the likes of Shinsuke Nakamura, Sheamus & Braun Strowman.
Tonight, he stares down Mustafa Ali – who is looking to claim his first championship in WWE. Ali used his high ring IQ to earn this shot by winning a Battle Royale, and will need a perfect game plan tonight to overcome the champion.
