Stratus has shown during her recent return that she can still pull off her Chick Kick, Stratusphere, and Stratusfaction moves. Therefore, we can expect Trish Stratus&#8217; turn to lead to a heel run in WWE. Here, we look at what we can expect from Trish Stratus&#8217; heel turn.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Trish Stratus Heel Turn &#8211; What to Expect<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Best Of Becky Lynch<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Becky Lynch is best when she feels wronged. First, a mystery assailant (almost definitely Stratus) took out <strong>Lita<\/strong>. Then, Stratus took Lita&#8217;s place to help Lynch defend the Women&#8217;s Tag Team Championship. But Stratus got pinned and lost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finally, Stratus kicked Lynch right in the kisser.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lynch has three reasons to feel aggrieved. In 2018, nobody was more over in professional wrestling than Lynch when she decided she wasn&#8217;t going to put up with being overlooked and wronged anymore. This is the Lynch that should be awoken by the Stratus turn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Prepare yourself for some promos from Lynch about how she shouldn&#8217;t have allowed herself to join Stratus and Lita for the nostalgia ride.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Why, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/trishstratuscom?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@trishstratuscom<\/a>, why?! \ud83d\ude32<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WWERaw?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#WWERaw<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tpiRQ76Ut9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/tpiRQ76Ut9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE (@WWE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/1645595418007330816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">April 11, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Best of Trish Stratus<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here&#8217;s something you may have forgotten. Trish Stratus was always best as a heel. Sure, there&#8217;s the brief moment she and <strong>The Rock<\/strong> had a romantic entanglement. Plus, her babyface Women&#8217;s Championship victories and teaming with Lita were genuinely great moments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But some of her greatest moments were as a heel. She teased poor Bubba Ray<strong>\u00a0Dudley<\/strong>, wheeled around a drugged-up <strong>Linda McMahon<\/strong>, and performed one of the most shocking <strong><em>WrestleMania<\/em><\/strong> betrayals when she slapped <strong>Chris Jericho<\/strong>, cost him his match against <strong>Christian<\/strong>, and kissed &#8220;Captain Charisma&#8221; on the ramp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Trish Stratus as a heel angered at Becky Lynch and &#8216;bestie&#8217; Lita for forming a tag team without her will let us see her at her finest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trish Stratus leaves Buh Buh Ray Dudley &quot;stratusfying&quot; messages: RAW IS WAR, Apr. 24, 2000\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dj-XHPsR6WM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">SummerSlam: Lynch vs. Stratus<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WWE&#8217;s next Premium Live Event in the U.S. will be <strong><em>SummerSlam<\/em><\/strong> in Detroit on August 5.

It would then give WWE a month to build to a showdown that hopefully fills some of the 80,000 seats at Ford Field, Detroit. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Trish Stratus Heel Turn Post-SummerSlam \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The ideal scenario is Stratus and Lynch put on a great showing at <em>SummerSlam<\/em> and then hug it out.
