One of the most unexpected feuds of 2023 came between Becky Lynch & Trish Stratus. With the WWE Hall of Famer originally coming in as an ally of Lynch, they would unite at WrestleMania 39 with Lita to defeat Damage CTRL – before moving into a heated feud.
It would conclude with a steel cage match at WWE Payback 2023 – marking Trish’s first steel cage match in her career. This is a feud that lived up to the expectations of fans – and made Trish appreciate Lynch.
Trish Stratus Knew Becky Lynch Would Be A Perfect Old Gen vs. New Gen Rival
While speaking on GAW TV, Trish would talk about dream matches – and how no one really expected this feud with Lynch.
“There are always those dream matches and fantasy matches, I don’t think anyone ever put Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch together. Sasha Banks has been in the running because we had that epic and memorable face-off in the 2018 Royal Rumble and people fantasy match, ‘old gen vs. new gen, that’d be cool.’ I didn’t really hear Becky.
When we did the face-off, people were like, ‘this is a dream match, best of this gen and best of that gen,’ and people were interested. We saw the interest, and eventually, it took a good year, maybe over a year, to get to each other. We finally got to each other, we got to team together, which was great to be alongside her.
She’s great. After we worked together and I watched her a little closer — you get busy with mom life — I became a huge fan watching her closer. Damn, she’s really something special for this generation. She really brings something.
You know how we always go, ‘she wrestles like the guys, she does a promo like the guys.’ I don’t know why that’s our benchmark, but if we can not wrestle like a girl, it’s better for some reason, though nowadays wrestling like a girl is awesome, the way we wrestle these days. She really delivered, and I bought into the hype, too.”
Right now, it’s unclear if Trish has anymore matches planned for 2023. Did you enjoy this feud?Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
