Will Pittsburgh get Stratusfied? It seems like that could be the case.
According to reports from both Fightful (via Fightful Select) and PWInsider.com, WWE Hall Of Famer Trish Stratus is in Pittsburgh. The city will host a double taping this week. There will be a live broadcast of WWE RAW, followed by a SmackDown taping that will air Friday.
Earlier this week, Fightful reported that it’s possible that WWE could have Stratus wrestle at Evolution later this month. WWE has expressed interest in having Trish at Evolution, although there was nothing locked in at that time.
Now, Fightful reports that WWE creative pitched a program between Trish Stratus and Tiffany Stratton. However, it was stressed that the claim internally was that those plans were not finalized as of this weekend. In addition, Trish Stratus is in Pittsburgh, but it’s unclear if she would be on the WWE RAW broadcast or SmackDown taping, or both.
What matches will happen at WWE Evolution?
WWE Evolution takes place in Atlanta on July 13.
Jacy Jayne vs. Jordynne Grace for the NXT Women’s Championship is the only match that has been confirmed for the event so far. WWE Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan was scheduled to compete at the event. However, the shoulder injury she recently suffered on WWE RAW has caused some changes to be made to the lineup.
Trish Stratus last competed for WWE at Elimination Chamber in Toronto. There, she and Stratton defeated Candice LeRae and Nia Jax. Trish recently reflected on that match and shared her excitement for working with the new generation, and teased “more Stratusfaction” coming soon.
