At WrestleMania 39 Saturday on April 1, the dream team of Trish Stratus, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Lita & Becky Lynch defeated Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai & IYO SKY) in a 6-woman tag team match in a non-title capacity. It was a feel-good experience to see WWE Hall of Famers back in action at the grandest stage of them all.
Plus, this match had also marked Trish Stratus’ first WrestleMania match in 12 years. Prior to Wrestkkemania 39, she last competed at WrestleMania 27 in 2011. Interestingly, she was not fully fit heading into the match. At her age, it’s tough to keep herself ready for action but being a veteran, she eventually made it to the Show of Shows despite the obstacle.

Trish Stratus went with the flows for Wrestlemania 39 performance
“This time, I had this injury, so I was a little unsure going in, but man, there’s something about feeling at home. It’s like riding a bike, as you guys know when we get back in there, your body’s like, ‘I got this just. Just do your thing,’ and it just flows. I’ve kept my health and fitness up, and that always plays into it as well. I am good in those moments, right?” Trish Stratus continued.
“I work well under pressure. I always feel like I have to prove myself every time I go out there, so that was like a big driving force for me that evening, was to go out and prove that I belong in this match, that I belong with these other talented women and that I still belong here, period.”

Following that match, Trish Stratus turned heel on Becky Lynch to prove the ongoing rumors true about a possible angle between the two superstars.
