7 Expected comebacks that did not happen in 2016

#5 Trish Stratus

Trish vs. Asuka was money

2016 was the year we saw Mickie James make her return to WWE to face the dominant NXT champion Asuka. While seeing Mickey going up against a talent like Asuka was a great thing, WWE initially had an even better plan. The original idea was to book Trish Stratus vs. Asuka and if it had happened, Asuka would’ve got more attention.

The idea did not go through as Trish announced her pregnancy and the pick, in turn, went to Mickie. The return did not happen due to this, and Trish is not expected to return anytime soon with the new baby in her life. It was great to flirt with the idea nevertheless.
