Trish Stratus has thanked the fans for their overwhelming support in 2023 and has hinted that she hasn’t had her final WWE match just yet.
After accomplishing everything there was to achieve in WWE and inspiring the next generation of stars, the Hall of Famer’s retirement at SummerSlam 2019 seemed to be definite. In a passing of the torch moment, Stratus’ loss to Charlotte Flair looked to be the final chapter in a legendary career. However, the former Women’s Champion would come out of retirement once again at WrestleMania 39 and have a lengthy run, culminating in a Steel Cage match against Becky Lynch at Payback. While thankful for a memorable year, Stratus might not be done just yet.
Speaking on GAW, Stratus stated that she has been extremely happy to fuel a lot of fans’ nostalgia with her matches and hopes to do more of the same in 2024:
“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,”
