The latest episode of WWE RAW had some interesting developments for WrestleMania 39. Aside from Edge teasing his retirement, another Hall of Famer grabbed the attention of fans after what seemed to be a subtle hint towards a heel turn.
On the February 27 episode of RAW, Trish Stratus returned to assist Becky Lynch and Lita in overpowering IYO SKY and Dakota Kai. The following week, during the celebrations, the seven-time women's champion claimed that she would always be there for her friends. The trio seems to be unstoppable, but the seeds of a rift have been planted by Bayley's stable.
WWE teased a heel turn for the Hall of Famer on the Road to WrestleMania 39. Before RAW began, Trish Stratus was brutally ambushed by Damage CTRL. The backstage angle was caught on camera while Cathy Kelley was interviewing The Miz ahead of the show. Stratus was pulverized by a multitude of kicks, yet there was no sign of either Becky Lynch or Lita.
