Trish Stratus has expressed interest in facing Mercedes Mone for quite some time, and recently, she was asked about the possibility of going to AEW to make that dream match a reality. In a recent interview with The Takedown (via Fightful), Trish opened up about her interaction with Mercedes at the Royal Rumble and reflected on how the two never had the chance to compete against each other in the ring. She shared her thoughts on their past encounters and whether a future match between them could happen in AEW.
Trish Stratus said:
“I really think people never thought I’d ever come back for another match. After the Royal Rumble, it was enough. It was a sizzle real, so to speak, of Trish Stratus and Stratusfaction, which is not easy to pull off, but like, ‘All right. You still got it,’ whatever. But to think of, can she come back after how many years to do a match like 17 years after my retirement, whatever the crazy number is, which is wild, yeah, but then [Mone] left.”
Trist Stratus on if she’d go to AEW for that match:
“No, I really am a WWE girl all the way, I really am.”
