At WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia Becky Lynch took on Trish Stratus in a multi-generational grudge match.
The match was the first time the two faced each other since the Hall of Famer blindsided Lynch in a rage of jealousy after feeling overshadowed by the former Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champion.
Following the sneak attack Lynch called out Stratus for a match at the PLE, but once she got her attacker in the ring, things didn’t go the way the Man wanted.
After a hard-fought back-and-forth battle, Stratus gained the upper hand with help from former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion Zoey Stark. The Monday Night Raw newcomer emerged from under the ring before hitting Lynch with the Z360 and throwing her back into the ring allowing Stratus to execute Stratusfaction for the shock victory.
The victory marked the first time Stratus had won in singles action for 17 years. Before this, her last one-on-one win saw her defeat Lita to capture the Women’s Championship for the seventh time at Unforgiven in 2006.
As the two assailants made their exit up the ramp cameras showed a bloodied Lynch visibly irate at what had just occurred.
