Trish Stratus made her comeback to the WWE ring at WrestleMania 39, where she joined forces with Becky Lynch and Lita to go over Damage CTRL (consisting of Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY). Following this, she had a storyline with Lynch. Her latest match took place inside a steel cage at WWE Payback 2023.
During a recent appearance on GAW TV, Stratus discussed her experiences throughout the year and hinted at the possibility of further WWE involvement in 2024. She said,
“Honestly. 2023 was probably the most insane year I’ve had on all fronts. I did not expect…I returned to wrestling, obviously, a little mini-program turned into six months. So much fun. I have a lot of things that are percolating and we’ll let you know when we can let you know. I’m excited. We’re on a roll here. Good things are happening, new opportunities and stuff that I didn’t even think I could tap into that I am. It’s been fun. I can’t wait. Honestly, at the end of the day, the support from my Stratospherians, we are so thankful for everyone. They are what drive us; they’re what make us, and your interests are what make the interests, and therefore, we are a thing. Thank you to all my Stratospherians for coming out, for supporting, and it was so fun when I went back to wrestling, tapping into ‘if you know you know’ moments and having that ‘Oh, I loved when she did that back in the day.’ That was fun. I look forward to doing that again next year. I’m so excited.”
