Towards the end of the video, Trish Stratus passes by the wall with the pictures of all the reigning champions. The WWE Hall of Famer looked straight into the camera and stated that maybe she needed to return to that wall, teasing not only her return to in-ring action but also potentially going after one of the titles. Notably, Stratus hasn’t won a title since 2006.

You can check out Trish Stratus’ comments in the video below:

Trish Stratus competed in the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble Match. She entered the 30-woman bout at number 25 and lasted for over 13 minutes. Stratus affected one elimination in the form of Candice LeRae before getting eliminated by Nia Jax.

Trish Stratus wrestled her last match at WWE Evolution 2025

Trish Stratus wrestled a total of three matches in 2025. After the Women’s Royal Rumble Match, she teamed up with the then WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event. The duo defeated Nia Jax and Candice LaRae in a traditional tag team match.

However, four months later, she challenged The Buff Barbie for the gold at the Evolution Premium Live Event. Stratus put forth a praiseworthy performance, but it was not enough to dethrone Straton.

The Royal Rumble could be the perfect opportunity for Trish Stratus to get back in the squared circle. Only time will tell whether she shows up in Riyadh this Saturday.
