An eight-time WWE Champion made their huge return tonight after being introduced by Tiffany Stratton.
Tonight on SmackDown, Tiffany Stratton came out to discuss the situation surrounding the WWE Women’s Championship. She was about to discuss the upcoming Evolution PLE when she was interrupted by Jade Cargill.
Cargill will be Stratton’s opponent at SummerSlam 2025, should the latter prevail at Evolution. Well, that raises the question: Who will Tiffy Time take on at the women-exclusive event? The answer came in the form of the eight-time WWE Champion she introduced shortly after.
Making an emphatic return for the first time since Elimination Chamber 2025, legend Trish Stratus was a welcome surprise for the fans in attendance in Pittsburgh.
Look who it is!

Stratton offered Stratus a shot at the Women’s Championship, and the Hall of Famer gladly accepted. The two will now do battle on July 13, 2025, following which, the winner will go on to SummerSlam and go head-to-head with The Storm.
Trish Stratus would love for her kids to see her with a WWE Championship
Evolution 2 presents an interesting opportunity for Trish Stratus. The WWE legend is looking forward to giving fans some Stratusfaction at the event. However, Evolution 2 means more for Stratus than just a return to singles action.
As she mentioned to Tiffany Stratton, while Elimination Chamber was the first time her children got to see her wrestle, Evolution could be the first time they get to see her win a title. That is something Stratus is most looking forward to. So, it’s safe to say she will be bringing her “A” game to Atlanta, Georgia.
