Sun Feb 02 05:30:00 IST 2025: ## WWE Legend Trish Stratus Hints at Royal Rumble Return, Offers Blunt Advice to New Champion
**Indianapolis, IN** – WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus may be making a surprise return to the ring at the 2025 Royal Rumble, fueling speculation after recent comments and reports. Stratus, speaking to ScreenRant ahead of the event, discussed the new Women’s midcard championships and their impact on the women’s division. She praised Lyra Valkyria’s potential but offered some pointed advice to fellow champion Chelsea Green: “I would tell Chelsea Green to stop being such a b*tch.”
Stratus’ comments, potentially setting up a storyline conflict with Green at the Rumble, come amidst rumors of her participation. WrestleVotes reported that her appearance has been discussed within WWE, citing her legendary status and ability to still perform at a high level. This potential return would be her first since her match with Becky Lynch at WWE Payback in 2023.
The potential feud adds a layer of intrigue, given that Green’s initial WWE plans involved a storyline mirroring Stratus’ past rivalry with Mickie James, a plan that was ultimately scrapped. Stratus’ overall perspective, however, is one of celebration for the growth of the women’s division. She expressed excitement about the new championships and the increased equality between male and female wrestlers, mirroring similar sentiments shared by Green herself. Green recently praised Triple H’s leadership for fostering a more equitable environment for women in WWE.
The 2025 Royal Rumble takes place February 1st at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Stratus’ potential appearance promises to add significant drama to an already anticipated event.
