Trish Stratus suddenly turned on Becky Lynch this week on WWE RAW after the former seven-time Women’s Champion lost Lynch and Lita their Tag Team Championships. Stratus was pinned by Liv Morgan before she struck Lynch from behind and completed her heel turn with a Chick Kick. Following the match, she was utterly silent when asked about her behavior in a backstage interview.
Trish Stratus recently revealed another side of herself to her fans, taking time on last Monday’s “WWE Raw” to cut a heel promo chastising fans and former “Raw” Women’s Champion Becky Lynch for not properly respecting her for opening doors for women’s wrestlers in the early 2000s.
“I had to get a point across so that’s what I did,” Stratus explained on “Busted Open Radio.” Stratus jests that she was just being herself, before explaining that she was nervous to shed her longstanding fan favorite personality, as she hasn’t played a heel since 2005. “I remember saying ‘God, I haven’t done a heel promo in 18 years,” Stratus said, “like it’s been a long time right?” Stratus credits her job on “Canada’s Got Talent” for keeping her comfortable in front of crowds.”

Trish Stratus has developed her own specialty TV network after being all over the news this week. She was the topic of an A&E WWE Rivals show on Sunday night, and she was on WWE RAW on Monday as part of the buildup for her next match. And today, on the second season premiere of Canada’s Got Talent, she returns to the judge’s panel. On Busted Open Radio, she discussed how much wrestling helps her connect with the fans.
“I speak to a theater of 5,000 people and one thing that’s interesting is when I do ‘Can’s Got Talent’ the producers always come to me and say ‘god, you’re so good at getting the crowd.'” Stratus goes on to explain that she learned to work a crowd from wrestling, noting that she doesn’t just hit her buzzer as a judge on the popular talent show, but gets the crowd into it before “dropping an elbow” on her golden buzzer. “Was I apprehensive?” Stratus asked about her promo. “I always am but that’s what’s exciting to me.” The WWE Hall of Famer is never one to back down from anxiety. “I thrive on challenge, that’s part of why I’m even doing this.”
