It’s quite rare to see any professional athlete come out of retirement to return to the sport they once engaged in. After all, they retired for a reason; whether it was old age, injury, or so on, usually those who retire, don’t come out of retirement. But WWE Hall of Famer and legendary Canadian female wrestler, Trish Stratus, will come out of retirement to fight one more match at WrestleMania 39.

Stratus is set to wrestle in a Six-woman tag team match. Stratus will team up with former SmackDown Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch, and fellow WWE Hall of Famer, longtime rival of Stratus, and real-life best friend, Lita. The 3 of these talented wrestlers will wrestle against the Damage CTRL (control) stable of Bayley, Dakota Kai, and Iyo Sky on the grandest stage of them all.

While this isn’t the first time Stratus has returned to a WWE ring in the past few years, this will be the first time she’ll wrestle at a WrestleMania event since 2006. The last WrestleMania she competed in was WrestleMania 22 when she lost in a match for the Women’s Championship against Mickie James. 

Stratus last competed in a WWE ring at SummerSlam in 2019 when she faced Charlotte Flair. The match lasted almost 17 minutes, which showed fans that Stratus still had it, despite being away from the ring for quite a while. 

The Toronto native will look to get back into the win column on April 1st or April 2nd, whichever date her match is scheduled for since WrestleMania 39 will be a 2-day event.

This year, WrestleMania will take place in Inglewood, California in the SoFi Stadium. Fans should get excited to watch Stratus come back to WrestleMania, as she’s always made WrestleMania better whenever she appears. Additionally, having her longtime rival, Lita, team up with her will make it a great clash from the past.
