Wrestlemania 40 witnessed a few returns by the WWE Legends and Trish Stratus alongside her bestie Lita could have been two of those names. While the WWE has already achieved record-breaking milestones across a range of metrics, one of the women’s matchups from the show could have been amped up via these two returns which ultimately got canceled.
According to a report from Fightful Select, there was supposed to be some integration of Trish Stratus and Lita in a segment during WrestleMania 40 that would ultimately not take place. While any specific details about the planned segment were not provided, it is clear that there have been changes to the original plan involving these legendary WWE stars.

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.” (quotes courtesy Wrestling INC)
