Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus have been involved in a rivalry for a long time, and it’s probably been too long now. The WWE has tried its best to make this feud interesting with the addition of Zoey Stark; however, it hasn’t worked that well.
On the July 31 episode of WWE RAW, Adam Pearce announced that Becky Lynch will now fight the 47-year-old Trish Stratus two weeks from now. The match will take place on the August 14 episode of RAW in Winnipeg, Canada, and this decision has made the fans more frustrated.
However, before this happened, Becky Lynch was assaulted by Trish Stratus and Zoey Stark on RAW. After the assault, Becky was seen looking pretty frustrated as she tossed aside t-shirts in a backstage video shared on WWE’s Instagram handle.
Fans took note of Becky‘s frustration in the video and accused Triple H of a major blunder in Becky’s rivalry against Trish Stratus. Fans also showed their frustration over prolonging this feud, as they want this rivalry to end soon. Expressing disappointment a fan wrote, “We’re all Tired! This feud should end on a big stage“. A user suggested to WWE by saying, “This storyline is getting old now gosh“.
It must be noted that on this week’s RAW, Becky Lynch called out Stratus for a match, and Adam Pearce made it official. However, as soon as the match started, Zoey Stark attacked Becky, and this ended the match in a disqualification win for her. What followed after this was even more frustrating for Becky, as she was assaulted by Trish and Zoey Stark.
Why is Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus not happening at SummerSlam?
Even Though most of the fans now want this rivalry to end soon, the WWE has extended it even further, by announcing that Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus would not happen at SummerSlam. Fans may feel like the company is extending the rivalry unnecessarily, but it can probably be due to some major reasons.
The first and foremost reason for this booking decision can be that Trish Stratus hails from Canada, and the company could be interested in ending her rivalry against Becky in her home country on August 14. Trish is already a WWE legend, and it may not be necessary to give her a win in the match, as her mere appearance would be a great treat for her Canadian fans.
Other than this, the already stacked card of WWE SummerSlam 2023 may have caused changes in WWE’s plan. As the women’s division already has pretty solid matches at SummerSlam, this may have caused the company to scrap their plans for a Becky vs. Trish match on August 5.
Whatever may have been the cause of the two-week prolongation of this rivalry, fans don’t really seem happy with it. The WWE universe has been pushing for this rivalry’s end, and the August 14 match between Becky and Trish has just increased their frustration. It remains to be seen whether the actual match between Becky and Trish can go ahead of fans’ expectations and give them a memorable ending or not.
