WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus was originally scheduled to appear on this past Monday’s edition of RAW at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn but the booking was canceled, reportedly due in part to the injury that Dakota Kai suffered at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.
Dave Meltzer wrote the following in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
“On paper it sounds like they were trying to build (Becky) Lynch & Lita & Stratus vs. Damage Ctrl. We were told that the Stratus angle isn’t dead and that the match wasn’t scheduled for Elimination Chamber. Kai & (Iyo) Sky defending the women’s tag titles against (Ronda) Rousey & (Shayna) Baszler is still on for Mania. Whether that means Damage Ctrl would work twice over Mania or something completely different isn’t known at this point, only that there was a planned angle for this past week to bring Stratus back that was canceled and is still expected to be revisited at some point.”
