Update on WWE’s Plans for Trish Stratus After Surprise Royal Rumble Return

Trish Stratus shocked fans with her return at the 2025 Royal Rumble, entering the women’s match at No. 25 and lasting over 13 minutes before being eliminated by Nia Jax. However, her return may not be a one-time event.

According to Fightful Select, Stratus is a “constant piece of discussion” within WWE, with officials actively considering ways to involve her. The Hall of Famer has even pitched ideas for her role, a sign that she’s eager to get back in the ring and show a new generation of WWE fans what Stratisfaction is all about.

With Elimination Chamber set for March in her hometown of Toronto, Stratus is expected to play a part in the event. WWE has also released new merchandise to commemorate the 25th anniversary of her debut, adding to speculation that she will be involved in more storylines moving forward.

Stratus’ Royal Rumble appearance marked her first WWE match since facing Becky Lynch in a critically acclaimed steel cage match at Payback 2023. Her return adds another layer of excitement to WWE’s current landscape, as Charlotte Flair, the Royal Rumble winner, prepares to challenge for a championship at WrestleMania 41.

With Stratus celebrating a major career milestone in 2025, fans may see even more of the legendary superstar in the months ahead.
